Our Equality and Diversity policy specifically includes gender re-assignment, gender identity and gender expression as one of the grounds or protected characteristics to which the policy applies. By failing to comply with this policy, employees are likely to be breaching the Equality Act 2010, if they treat our trans colleagues less favourably, or bully, harass or victimise a trans colleague/employee. The policy further outlines the kind of treatment that employees and customers should expect to receive.
As well as the Equality and Diversity Policy, this guidance is supported by a number of other policies and procedures including:
• Employee Code of Conduct;
• Behaviour and Standards in the Workplace guidance;
• Grievance Policy;
• Disciplinary Policy;
• Recruitment and Selection Policy;
• Time Off Policy;
• Training and Development resources;
