Diverse VSP

At Maclay Murray & Spens LLP we value diversity of our people and strive to create an inclusive and accessible environment for our staff, clients and suppliers.

We recognise the link between equality and quality and so are committed to treating everyone fairly irrespective of age, gender, marital or civil partner status, sexual orientation, pregnancy or maternity, disability, race, colour, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin or any other protected characteristic for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010.

We recognise that our staff and clients should experience a professional, safe and harassment free environment. All of our staff and partners have the responsibility to value and respect everyone's unique contribution coming from a variety of backgrounds. We will not tolerate any form of unlawful discrimination, victimisation or harassment.

These values are reflected in our policies and procedures. This is not limited to areas of recruitment, training and development and promotion, as we are also mindful of ensuring accessibility and equal treatment for our clients and suppliers.

We believe that promoting diversity means creating an inclusive work environment and we can demonstrate this commitment by:

• Monitoring legislation and case law and amending our practices or procedures appropriately
• Carrying out equality and diversity monitoring to enable us to take positive action where appropriate
• Informing and training our Partners and staff to ensure they understand and meet our equality and diversity standards
• Treating any acts of discrimination, victimisation or harassment as a disciplinary offence
• Communicating with Staff on the development and implementation of our Equality & Diversity Plan through our Staff Forum
• Reaching out to our community through CSR activities which also reflect our equality and diversity values
