Equality and Diversity

Equality & Diversity is about the recognition and valuing of difference in its broadest sense.

It is about creating a working culture and practices that recognise, respect, value and harness difference for the benefit of the organisation and the individual.

It is also about creating a fairer society where everyone can participate and has the opportunity to fulfill their potential.

It is backed by legislation designed to address unfair discrimination based on membership of a particular group.

ILEX is focused and committed to equality and diversity in relation to the members it represents, the staff it employs and its stakeholders.  ILEX has published its Equality and Diversity Policy which sets out ILEX Group policy.

ILEX has also published the group Single Equality and Diversity Scheme And Action Plan which sets out the Equality and Diversity objectives and action plans for the Group for the next three years.
