PAVO's Equal Opportunites Statement
PAVO is committed to opposing discrimination against people on the grounds of race, colour, religion, gender, age, class, disability, marital status, sexual preference, physical, mental health, history of physical/mental health, or for any other reason. PAVO is committed to taking positive steps to promote and sustain fairness amongst those sharing the work environment or receiving a service. PAVO seeks to promote this policy to all parties with which it works.
We are committed to working in partnership with all communities in Powys, ensuring all our services are available to, and shaped to meet the different needs of, all Powys' communities. We will promote diversity and fight intolerance through our work with all our partners in the public, voluntary community, independent and private sectors, locally and regionally; take positive action to prevent harassment and victimisation of employees; and ensure regular and effective monitoring and review of the implementation of this policy so that we make a difference and continuously improve our equalities and diversity practice.
Welcome to the Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Pages
PAVO is committed to ensuring that the voluntary sector has the skills and capacity necessary to meet the challenges of advancing equality, embracing diversity, upholding human rights and challenging discrimination.
These pages are to help you to gain a better understanding of equality, to assist you in thinking about how your organisation responds to equality and diversity and to enable you to question if your services exclude or discriminate against any group of people.
