Free Equal Opportunities Policy (UK)
An equality, diversity and inclusion policy template for UK employers who want to set out, clearly and in writing, their commitment to fair treatment for everyone they work with. It is written in line with the Equality Act 2010 and covers the nine protected characteristics, what fair treatment means in recruitment and at work, and how concerns about discrimination, harassment or victimisation are raised and handled. Fill the highlighted boxes in the document control panel, then adjust the wording so it reflects how your organisation actually operates. It is a starting point rather than legal advice, so review it before you adopt it. Free to download in editable Word and read-only PDF.
