This is a key element of our business strategy.

We aim to ensure that no job applicant or employee of ourselves or any client organisation, receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, marital status, family responsibility, political opinion, age, disability, sexual orientation, trade union activity, or religious belief.

We will keep our practices and procedures under regular review to ensure that individuals are selected or promoted on the basis of the requirements of, and their ability to do, the job.

AS Associates will pursue a programme of positive action to make this statement of policy fully effective.

AS Associates is aware of its responsibilities when acting on behalf of clients to promote best practice in relation to equality of opportunity in recruitment and selection and other activities. All persons who work with AS Associates on any assignment will be made aware of our policy in relation to equality of opportunity. They will also be expected to promote and model the highest of standards at all times.

Anyone acting on behalf of AS Associates will have received appropriate training to enable them to fulfil these responsibilities.
