Our commitment

Our entire purpose is widening access to good work. We hold ourselves to that internally. We recruit, pay, develop and promote on merit and potential, and we work to remove the barriers that stop talented people getting through the door.

Protected characteristics

We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or victimisation on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation, as set out in the Equality Act 2010. We also consider socio-economic background in how we design access to opportunity.

In practice

• Published salary ranges on every role
• Structured interviews with consistent questions and scoring
• No requirement for a degree unless the role genuinely needs one
• Paid work experience and internships only
• Reasonable adjustments offered at every stage of recruitment and employment

Raising a concern

If you have a concern about discrimination or exclusion, raise it with your manager or email contact@equityhouse.io. Concerns can be raised confidentially and you will never be penalised for speaking up in good faith. See our whistleblowing policy for the full route.

Governance and review

This policy is owned by the Head of People and approved by the board. It is reviewed at least annually, and sooner if the law, our operations or our risk profile changes.
