Equality and Diversity
Commitment to Equality and Diversity
For Forbes to achieve its mission to be the pre-eminent law firm in the North of England, Forbes believes that excellence will be achieved through recognising the value of every individual. We aim to build on our core brand values to create an environment that respects the diversity of staff, clients and suppliers and enables the staff to achieve their full potential, to contribute fully, and to derive maximum benefit for them and their clients by providing a first class service.
To this end, Forbes acknowledges the following basic rights for all staff, clients and suppliers who make up the local business community:
- to be treated with respect and dignity;
- to be treated fairly with regard to all policies, procedures, processes and service;
- to receive encouragement to reach their full potential.
These rights carry with them responsibilities and Forbes requires all staff to recognise these rights and to act in accordance with them in all dealings with colleagues, clients and suppliers. In addition, Forbes will comply with all relevant legislation and good practice.
No individual will be unjustifiably discriminated against. This includes, but not exclusively, on the basis of gender, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religious or political beliefs, disability, marital status, social background, family circumstance, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, spent criminal convictions, age or for any other reason.
