Employers must act within the law and are liable for the actions of their employees, who should be made aware of the company’s equal opportunities policy. Relevant staff should also be trained on the equal opportunities policy.

BEST is committed to equal opportunities and strives to recruit apprentices on merit, irrespective of gender, ethnic origin, religious belief, sexual orientation, marital status or disability, and expects employers to share this commitment. We also encourage applications from under represented groups, such as women, ethnic minorities and disabled people.
