Equal Opportunities

CVS will challenge discrimination and lack of opportunity in its own policy and practice and help other organisations to do the same.

CVS aims to create a culture that respects and values each other's differences. CVS sees these differences as an asset to our work as they improve our ability to meet the needs of the organisations and people we serve.

All volunteers, employees, committee members and member organisations must declare their support for the objectives of the CVS Equality and Diversity policy. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action or ineligibility for membership.

Recruitment

CVS believes that no person or group should be treated less favourably in employment because of the reasons given in our opening statement.

Staff appointments will be monitored to ensure no discrimination is occuring at the point of selection.

A separate recruitment policy is available upon request.
