The requirements of job applicants and existing members of staff who have a disability will be
reviewed to ensure that whatever possible reasonable adjustments are made to enable them to
perform as well as possible during the recruitment process and while employed by the Company.
Opportunities for promotion, access to benefits and facilities of employment will not be unreasonably
limited and all reasonable adjustments will be made. All reasonable measures will be taken to ensure
that disabled staffs are given the opportunity to participate fully in the workplace, in training and
career development opportunities.

The Company will take all possible reasonable measures to ensure that employees, contractors,

and implemented. Any employee who fails to observe the principles of this policy will be subject to
the Company's disciplinary policy. Serious breaches of this policy, including sexual or racial
