Actively promoting anti-discriminatory practice
Ethical principles:
Justice: Individuals are to be treated fairly regardless of their background.
Autonomy: An individual’s choices must be respected.

and employees
Awareness training events in a continuous professional development
Challenging colleagues demonstrating any form of discriminatory behaviour
Challenging inappropriate behaviours
