3.5.5 Disabilities
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.

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 Company Director 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 Company Director 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.
