8. MRG commitment to equality & diversity
Advertising
All MRG adverts comply with current anti-discrimination legislation and are carefully worded to ensure that they are not written in a way that stereotypes or encourages people to believe that the position is only suitable for certain groups of people. Unless requested we advertise all our vacancies online with leading online job boards, public networking sites and specialist and national press (or often their online equivalents). This ensures we can attract candidates from the widest pool available and gives fair accessibility. Consideration should also be given to which media is used for advertising to ensure that applications from some sections of the community are not excluded or limited. We are also able to broadcast to a more diverse audience by using specialist job boards such as diversity jobsite.co.uk which specifically seeks to attract applications from underrepresented groups. Adverts can include specific sign offs that encourage applications from specific sections of the community where they are under-represented. We would discuss this with relevant stakeholders from ETL and agree before publishing any adverts. We proactively search from organisations that also deploy similar Equality and Diversity standards (Two Ticks, Athena Swan, Stonewall etc.) from the following target markets: - Corporate organisations with the appropriate Equality and Diversity policies - Higher EI’s - Local and Central Government - The NHS - Publicly funded organisations such as Police, Ambulance and Fire Services - Other Public Institutions - The Third Sector We search by Organisation and Job Title thus removing the opportunity to stereotype. The full Search report is available to the selection panel at the conclusion of the campaign. This report shows the full candidate pool and all the prospective approaches made. Search
