How this applies to recruitment
Recruitment affects access, confidence and opportunity. Inclusion must therefore shape the process, not sit only in a policy document.

- Candidate evidence should be assessed fairly and consistently.
- Language in adverts and conversations should be respectful.
- Reasonable adjustments should be taken seriously.
- Salary, flexibility, progression and expectations should be discussed honestly.
- Candidates should receive respectful communication and feedback.

- Avoid unlawful discrimination in pay, benefits, terms, training, promotion, dismissal, redundancy and flexible-working requests.
- Oppose bullying, harassment, victimisation and discrimination.
