3.5.6 Harassment
The Company will take all possible reasonable measures to ensure that employees, contractors,
suppliers and customers are not subjected to harassment on any grounds.

3.5.7 Responsibilities
The Company will ensure that all its policies and procedures are kept regularly under review to ensure
that they operate within this equality policy. Company Directors have particular responsibility for the
implementation of this policy, but all employees are required to ensure that the policy is maintained
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
harassment, may result in the summary dismissal of the perpetrator.

3.5.8 Complaints
In the first instance, if you have any complaints relating to equality you might prefer to raise the matter
informally, either directly with the individual concerned, or with a Manager or with another member
of management. Alternatively, or if your complaint has not been resolved informally, your complaint
should be reported formally in writing to a Manager or another member of management who will
investigate the matter in accordance with the Company's grievance procedure. Complaints of
harassment should be dealt with in accordance with the Company's separate harassment policy.
