EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
Microscopix Limited recognises that there are people who are placed at a disadvantage or who are discriminated against. We will take action to make sure that these people are treated equally and fairly in anything we do, and we will value the contribution that all our employees, customers and associates make.
We recognise that equality does not always mean giving everyone the same service, nor is it about treating people in exactly the same way. It is about adapting the service to meet the needs of different groups of people.
We aim to provide services which can be easily accessed, are available when people need them and meet people’s different needs to not discriminate.
We will talk regularly to our employees, customers etc. to find out their needs, get their opinion on how we are performing, to see how we can improve our services.
We will support individuals to be self-reliant and self confident, promote tolerance and mutual respect, confront prejudice and discrimination.
