Diversity and equality

Cefas has a policy of equality of opportunity for all staff, which is based on and implements Civil Service policy. The aim of this policy is to create an environment in which no one in Cefas suffers discrimination, either directly or indirectly, on grounds such as race, colour, ethnic or national origin, sex, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, religion or beliefs, or age.

We treat everyone fairly and encourage, value and recognise everyone’s views and contributions.

Cefas’ employees are supported in the delivery of these values by a policy which aims to create a working environment that ensures that each individual member of staff is:

valued for the differences, skills and experience they bring to work
encouraged and enabled to develop their potential in the workplace and to progress
free from harassment, bullying and discrimination, and treated with respect.
