8. Non-compliance with equal opportunities rules

  • Any breach of equal opportunities rules or failure to comply with this policy will be taken very seriously and is likely to result in disciplinary action against the offender, up to and including immediate dismissal.
  • Staff should also note that:
    • in some cases, they may be personally liable for their acts of discrimination and that legal action may be taken against them directly by the victim of any discrimination; and
    • it may be a criminal offence intentionally to harass another employee.
