Football Club is committed to a policy of equal
treatment of all members and requires all members
of whatever level or authority, to abide and adhere
to this general principle and the requirements of
the Codes of Practice issued by the Equal Opportunities
Commission and Commission for Racial Equality.
All members are expected to abide by the requirements
of the Race Relations Act 1976, Sex Discrimination
Act 1986 and Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
Specifically discrimination is prohibited by:
• Treating any individual on grounds of gender,
colour, marital status, race, nationality or ethnic
or national origin, religion, sexual orientation
or disability less favourably than others.
• Expecting an individual solely on the grounds
stated above to comply with requirement(s) for any
reason whatsoever related to their membership, which
are different from the requirements for others.
• Imposing on an individual requirements which
are in effect more onerous on that individual than
they are on others. For example, this would include
applying a condition which makes it more difficult
for members of a particular race or sex to comply
than others not of that race or sex.
• Victimisation of an individual.
• Harassment of an individual, by virtue of
discrimination.
• Any other act or omission of an act, which
has as its effect the disadvantaging of a member
against another, or others, purely on the above
grounds. Thus, in all the Club’s recruitment,
selection, promotion and training processes, as
well as disciplinary matters, it is essential that
merit, experience, skills and temperament are considered
as objectively as possible.
Total Network Solutions Football Club commits itself
to the immediate investigation of any claims of
discrimination on the above grounds and where such
is found to be the case, a requirement that the
practice cease forthwith, restitution of damage
or loss (if necessary) and to the investigation
of any member accused of discrimination.
Any member found guilty of discrimination will
be instructed to desist forthwith. Since discrimination
in its many forms is against the Football Club’s
policy, any members offending will be dealt with
under the disciplinary procedure.
Total Network Solutions Football Club commits itself
to the disabled person whenever possible and will
treat such members, in aspects of their recruitment
and membership, in exactly the same manner as other
members. The difficulties of their disablement permitting
assistance will be given, wherever possible to ensure
that disabled members are helped in gaining access.
Appropriate training will be made to such members
who request it. |
