What Equal Opportunities means is that everyone, both staff and learners should be treated fairly so they can develop to the limit of their individual ability.

- Whilst Government guidance on Work Based Training will apply some restrictions, it is the British Racing School's aim that there should be no discrimination on grounds of sex, being married, colour or race which is not permitted by law (1). Similarly, there should be no discrimination on any other grounds including disability or age except where it is necessary to ensure that the job is done effectively and safely

- Furthermore it is the School's aim to encourage an inclusive environment for both learners and staff and to use teaching methods which promote equality of opportunity

- The principle of Equal Opportunities will apply to recruitment, selection, training, promotion, dismissal, development and terms and conditions of service

- All employees and learners have a responsibility to apply these principles in practice. Any learner or member of staff who feels that they have been treated unfairly in relation to this policy should use the School's Grievance Procedure

- Note. (1). This includes the Race Relations Act, the Equality Act, the Disabled Persons Act and to observe as far as possible the Codes of Practice published by the Commission for Racial Equality and the Equal Opportunities Commission on Employment.
