Kirkburton Health Centre values the rich diversity, skills and abilities that people from differing backgrounds and experiences bring to the workplace. Implementing and abiding by a policy that provides for diversity and equal opportunities and deters unlawful discrimination is therefore important to this organisation. 

Every person working for, or on behalf of, this organisation plays a vital role in implementing its aim to create an inclusive working environment, taking into account the needs of all patients, visitors and service users, where diversity is welcomed and there is no fear of discrimination. 

Our policy is to set out the aims of the organisation to create an inclusive working environment, where access to work is based on fair and objective criteria, and where there is zero tolerance of unlawful discrimination in respect of our workforce, patients, visitors and others involved in providing or receiving our services. We aim to implement clear processes in terms of how the organisation supports and works towards its aims. 

The organisation also aims to be clear about how it will deal with actions that adversely impact on its stated aims.
