Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Commitment

We believe in a fairer future for all, and we know that by working together we can do much, much more. We believe that everyone has the right to live without fear or prejudice regardless of race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, sexual identity, social class, religion or belief.

Everyone should be able to make a full contribution to society in their own unique way and live in a world which demonstrates respect and values diversity.

At Spencer Brislen Associates, we are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in all aspects of our business operations, in accordance with the UK Equality Act 2010. We believe that fostering an inclusive environment is not only the right thing to do but also essential for our success.

We are completely committed to upholding the highest standards and best practice for all our internal and external stakeholders, suppliers, clients and candidates.

Everyone at Spencer Brislen Associates has undertaken EDI training with a specific focus on recruiting in a fair and inclusive way.
