Cobbetts is a committed equal opportunities employer. We recognise that diversity is a positive attribute and we welcome the differences that a diverse culture offers. We strive to provide a culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and a working environment which recognises and values differences.
The aim of our policy is to support these commitments by providing a framework for continuous improvement to ensure that everyone at Cobbetts, our clients and our business suppliers, are treated equally. We take steps to ensure that the policies, systems and processes we use are fair and allow everyone an equal opportunity to achieve their potential.
Why this is important to us We value all our employees and view any form of direct or indirect discrimination or harassment very seriously. We believe everyone has the right to be treated fairly and equally and to enjoy a working environment free from discrimination or harassment. We expect everyone within the firm to act in a way that upholds this view and commit to a diverse workforce as an essential part of our continued success.
Diversity and equal opportunities training All our partners and employees have attended training on diversity and equal opportunities. In addition, our training covers preventing unlawful discrimination in relationships with clients and others. All partners and staff are aware of the requirements of the Equality Act in relation to age, disability, gender, reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation.
