Guidance Notes:
We are an Equal Opportunities Employer. We aim to provide equality of opportunity to all persons regardless of their religious belief; political opinion; sex; race; age; sexual orientation; or, whether they are married or are in a civil partnership; or, whether they are disabled; or whether they have undergone, are undergoing or intend to undergo gender reassignment.
We do not discriminate against our job applicants or employees on any of the grounds listed above. We aim to select the best person for the job and all recruitment decisions will be made objectively.
We also monitor the community background and sex of our job applicants and employees in order to comply with our duties under the FairEmployment & Treatment (NI) Order 1998.
 
You are not obliged to answer the questions on this form and you will not suffer any penalty if you choose not to do so.
Nevertheless, we encourage you to answer the questions below. Your identity will be kept anonymous and your answers will be treated with the strictest confidence.
