Care Solution Bureau CIC is committed to achieving a working environment that provides equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, sex, class, sexual orientation, age, disability, and/or special needs. The organization is also committed to building a workforce that is diverse and reflects the community around us. The aim of the organization is to promote equal treatment for all employees and service users irrespective of race, color, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, political belief, disability, age, gender, or marital status; and that this is managed in compliance with equal opportunities legislation and accepted codes of conducts. We aim to ensure that no job applicant, staff member, volunteer, organization, or individual we provide service to will be discriminated against by us. Care Solution Bureau CIC understands that discrimination is the treatment of a person on the grounds of race, religion, sex, class, sexual orientation, age, disability, or special need. Discrimination may be direct or indirect. Direct discrimination is deliberate. Indirect discrimination is when an unnecessary condition or requirement is imposed; whether intentionally or inadvertently, such that the proportion of members of one group who can comply with it is considerably smaller than the proportion of other groups.
