Providing equal opportunities means ensuring that no individual is treated less favourably on the basis of who they are – that all decisions taken in relation to them are based on fact and merit alone.

Managing diversity can start even before employment starts, and can include recruitment exercises; offers of training and benefits; promotion opportunities; celebration of different cultures etc.
