One thing we all have in common is that we are all different.
At The Training Brokers, we create a culture of diversity, ensuring everybody has an equal opportunity and is not treated differently or discriminated against because of their individual characteristics. We provide a dynamic working and learning environment where everybody is valued for their contribution and individuality.
We work inclusively with all communities to develop a diverse and vibrant workforce and learner environment.
Our learners have the right to be treated fairly. You can expect to be treated with dignity and respect and will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. Learners have a responsibility to treat other learners and our team with dignity and respect.
We also consider life circumstances and opportunities that affect us all:
- Cultural and economic background
- Access to education
- Physical and social environment
- Health
- Employment
