Equality and Diversity

At Professional Apprenticeships we passionately believe that anyone can complete an apprenticeship free from discrimination. Your employer is obliged to comply with current equality legislation and not to discriminate under the ‘protected characteristics’ of sex, disability, marital status, race (including national or ethnic origins), sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, religion or belief, age, pregnancy / maternity and exoffenders with a spent crime.

Professional Apprenticeships is fully committed to the view that discrimination is unacceptable on any grounds, whether covered by the above legislation or not, and will positively seek to ensure that it does not occur. If you ever feel that you are the victim of discrimination, please make contact with our designated Safeguarding Officer Carina Bush on 0117 422 4000 or email Safeguarding@professionalapprenticeships.co.uk.
