EEO Procedure

EEO Procedure – Our Lady of Victories:

The State Sector Act 1988 requires Boards of Trustees, as employers in the education service, to:

operate a personnel policy that complies with the principle of being a good employer; and
make that policy (including the equal employment opportunities plan) available to its employees; and
ensure its compliance with that policy and report is in the annual report on the extent of its compliance.

As well as the action summarised above, this means the Board must have systems in place to ensure:

their school has good and safe working conditions; and
they impartially select suitably qualified persons when recruiting employees; and
they give individual employees opportunities for professional development to enhance their abilities; and
they recognise the aims and aspirations of Māori, the employment requirements of Māori and the need for greater involvement of Māori in the education service; and
they recognise the aims and aspirations, and the cultural differences, of ethnic or minority groups; and
they recognise the employment requirements of women; and
they recognise the employment requirements of persons with disabilities.
