They will define the qualifications, experience and other skills required in the post, and will only include those factors which are necessary and justifiable on objective criteria for the satisfactory performance of the job. </p><p>Recruitment literature will be consistent with the job description, and aimed at as wide a group of suitable qualified and experienced people as possible, and encouraging applications from under-represented groups. </p><p>Recruitment advertisements will be drafted to avoid any form of discrimination. </p><p>Employees will not be discriminated against in respect of pay and conditions of service. This applied equally to any benefits, facilities or services which are provided by the authority's staff. </p><p>Training opportunities will be equally available to all employees, whether male or female, or whether weekly or monthly paid and irrespective of ethnic origin. Employees will be consulted regularly about their training needs. </p><p>Employees will receive training to help them to perform their job effectively. Training, education and vocational courses leading to qualifications relevant to their career will be open to all, in order to assist them to achieve their full potential. </p><p>The Council will consider various options, including an appropriate career break scheme, to enable women to return to work after maternity or bringing up a family, so that they are not disadvantaged by the break in employment. In particular, the Council will ensure that careers can be developed through full access to management training courses and other forms of in-house or external training. </p><p>The Council will adopt a policy on Job Sharing, which will allow men and women to apply for employment on a part-time basis, sharing the duties, pay and hours of work with another person. The policy will enable as many jobs to be open to job sharing as is operationally practicable. The Council will advertise in local press and appropriate media about job-sharing, and will maintain a register of external and internal applicants. Chief Officers will not refuse unreasonably applications for job sharing, but will retain discretion about the final decision. </p><p>The Council will not permit sexual or other forms of harassment of its employees. It will investigate complaints of harassment, which should normally be directed through the official grievance procedure. But if the complaint is against the employee's supervising or senior officer, it may be raised directly with the Chief Officer or Managing Director. </p><p>No-one who brings a complaint or grievance in good faith under the policy will be subject to victimisation or any other detriment as a result of their actions. </p><p>Employees who fail to observe the Equal Opportunities Policy will be subject to the disciplinary procedure. </p><h3>The Employment of Disabled People </h3><p>Disabled applicants will be given full and fair consideration for all types of vacancies. </p><p>Wherever possible, the Authority will retain the services of an employee who is, or becomes disabled and, where necessary, provide retraining and redeployment. Disabled employees will be given equal opportunities with other employees for training and career development and promotion. </p><h3>Policy Review </h3><p>The policy will be reviewed after it has been in operation for <span class="gen">enter amount</span> years. </p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3>
