Equal opportunities
St John Ambulance and each employee and
volunteer is bound by law not to discriminate unjustifiably,
directly or indirectly, against any person in any work activity on
the grounds of that person's:
- sex
- marital status
- disability
- race
- colour
- nationality or ethnic origin
- sexual orientation.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995
also makes it unlawful to unjustifiably discriminate against a
person in any work activity because of his/her disability.
