Equality and Diversity
National Services Division is committed to proactively promoting and supporting the principles of Equality & Diversity for the benefit of staff and all who use our services.
Diversity is about the recognition of difference in its broadest sense. It is about creating a culture and adopting practices that recognise, respect, value and harness difference. National Services Division seeks to eliminate discrimination on the grounds of: age, disability, faith/religion, gender, race and sexual orientation and we actively promote positive action to foster inclusion.
National Services Division promotes equal opportunities and diversity in NHSScotland. We are an organisation which recognises the contribution of all staff, and which is supportive, fair, just and free from discrimination.
National Services Division encourages diversity and eliminates unfair treatment and discrimination through a full range of human resource and contracting policies and procedures. This applies not just to areas of recruitment, training, development and promotion, but also monitoring the adherence to the equality & diversity legislation and principles by our stakeholders.
National Services Division recognises that staff have rights as employees to work in a supportive, safe and harassment free environment and that staff have individual and collective responsibility to value and respect each other’s contributions.
More information on NSS Policies can be found on the equality and diversity section of the NSS website.
