From: Stock Moran Swalwell Solicitors based in Wigan

Stock Moran Swalwell solicitors of Wigan are a specialist firm of solicitors offering criminal defence legal services in the North West of England and we are proud to hold the LEXCEL standard of excellence in crime. We are here to help everyone Equality and Diversity - We aim to treat all persons fairly and equally. A copy of our Equality and Diversity Policy is readily available on request. The Practice is committed to providing equal opportunities in employment. We take all steps to avoid discrimination and to promote equality and diversity. To us equal opportunities means maximising employee potential and ensuring all employees present and prospective receive equal access to employment, terms and conditions, training, promotion and services. Diversity is about recognising, respecting and valuing differences between individuals. It means treating people as individuals and accounting for inequalities and disadvantages. It is good business sense for the Practice to ensure that its most important resource, its staff, is used in a fair and effective way. This means that all job applicants, existing staff, prospective partners, barristers and experts will receive equal treatment regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. Recruitment and selection, training, conditions of service and promotions will all adhere to this central tenet. Further our services are open to all, and anyone asking for help in our area of expertise will be treated the same. What are we doing to support Diversity and Inclusion: 1. We are a Disability Confident Employer. 2. We support MIND and the Mental Health at Work Commitment. 3. As a business we have taken the Law Society Women in Law Pledge. We make every effort to ensure that our website, our documents, and our service is easy to use and is accessible to everyone. It is our legal duty to make changes and adjustments for people with disabilities, where it is reasonable to do so in the circumstances. We currently hold the Disability Confident Commitment award. We are committed to making sure the way we work doesn’t put anyone at a disadvantage. We can do this by providing information in a different format such as large print, Braille, on an audio file, or in another language. We are also committed to digital inclusion and making sure all visitors to our website have a positive user experience. We will continue to meet our objectives to: 1. Prevent, reduce and stop all forms of unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation. 2. Ensure that recruitment, promotion, training, development, assessment, benefits, pay, terms and conditions of employment, redundancy and dismissals are determined on the basis of capability, qualifications, experience, skills and productivity. We therefore pledge our commitment and sign the charter. Melissa Fagan - Partner STOCK MORAN SWALWELL Solicitors of Wigan WN1 1PJ
