Equity and Equal Opportunities

South Essex Gymnastics Club is committed to the principles of equity and fairness. The club will ensure that the rights, dignity and worth of all individuals (members and staff) are respected.

The club will do its best to encourage individuals from all sections of the local community to become involved as participants, coaches and officials and will ensure that no employee or member is discriminated against in any way.

SEGC confirms its commitment to a comprehensive policy of equal opportunities for its employees and its members.

Our aim is to ensure that no employee or job applicant, member or prospective member receives less favorable treatment on grounds that are not relevant to good employment practice for staff or to gymnastic ability and attainment for members.

SEGC will ensure that:

• Staff are recruited, promoted and selected for training on the basis of their qualifications, skills, abilities and aptitudes

• Gymnasts are selected and invited for training on the basis of their abilities and aptitudes and their potential to achieve expected levels of attainment

SEGC will continue to review its policies, practices and procedures with the above objectives in mind and will ensure that staff are aware of their duty under legislation and agreed policies.

Any member or employee who believes that they have been discriminated against is encouraged to raise the matter through a confidential interview with the Manager or designated trustee.

Any member or employee suspected of treating another member or employee in an unfair or discriminatory way will be dealt with according to disciplinary procedures.
