The ideal of accessibility underpins this Statement and includes not only access to the built environment, but also to information and services.

Discrimination in recruitment, selection or employment is treated seriously by the Organisation and could provide grounds for disciplinary action. Furthermore, individuals who discriminate on the grounds of disability may be liable under the Equality Act 2010
