Diversity and Inclusion statement

Introduction

Anthony Gold Solicitors is committed to creating and sustaining a positive fair, equitable, and mutually supportive working environment for our staff. We aspire that staff are equally valued and respected. As a provider of legal services to a wide community, we value the diversity of our staff.  Here is a link to view our SRA 2019 summary data.

Commitment to Diversity and inclusion

We believe that excellence will be achieved through recognising the value of every individual. We aim to create an environment that respects the diversity of staff, enabling them to achieve their full potential, contribute fully and derive maximum benefit and enjoyment from working at the firm.

To this end, we acknowledge the following basic rights for all members of staff:

• to be treated with respect and dignity
• to be treated fairly with regard to all training, procedures, assessments and choices
• to be encouraged to reach one’s full potential

These rights carry responsibilities and we require all members of staff to recognise these rights and act in accordance with them. In addition, we will comply with all relevant legislation and good practice.

No individual will be unjustly discriminated against. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex and sexual orientation.

Dealing with discrimination

We perceive bullying, harassment and victimisation of any individual as contradictory to our aspirations for a supportive working environment and will not be tolerated. Any allegations of such behaviour will be thoroughly investigated, and handled in the appropriate manner.
