Equality and Diversity  

By valuing diversity we recognise that society is made up of unique individuals who bring a wider range of skills, experience and cultures to the environments in which we all live and work.  We believe that valuing these differences will create a productive environment in which everyone feels valued, where talents are fully embraced and where prejudice, discrimination stereotyping, harassment and discrimination do not exist.

All of our policies and services are sensitive to equality and diversity and in very aspect including race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age and religion.   

We are committed to ensuring that every member of SPSA plays their part in helping to eliminate discrimination and promote equality and all of our people complete equality and diversity training on joining the organisation.
