MONDAPRO Disability Discrimination and Inclusion Policy
MONDAPRO Disability Discrimination and Inclusion Policy
1. Policy Statement and Commitment
Mondapro is committed to providing an inclusive, equitable, and supportive environment for all staff, trainers, and learners. We strictly prohibit all forms of disability discrimination in our employment practices and the delivery of our training services.
This policy affirms Mondapro’s commitment to meeting its legal duties under the Equality Act 2010 (or relevant national/jurisdictional legislation) and ensuring that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities to participate fully in all aspects of our business and learning programs.
- Zero Tolerance: Mondapro has a zero-tolerance approach to direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, harassment, and victimisation based on disability.
- Anticipatory Duty: We recognise our anticipatory duty to make reasonable adjustments. This means we must proactively consider and address barriers that disabled individuals may face, rather than waiting for an individual request.
2. Scope and Definition of Disability
This policy applies to all employees, trainees/learners, job applicants, contractors, and third parties engaging with Mondapro.
Definition of Disability
For the purpose of this policy, a person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities (as defined in the Equality Act 2010). This includes:
- Physical impairments (e.g., mobility issues, chronic illnesses).
- Sensory impairments (e.g., visual or hearing loss).
- Mental impairments (e.g., depression, anxiety, learning disabilities like dyslexia).
3. The Duty to Make Reasonable Adjustments
Mondapro has a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that a disabled person is not put at a substantial disadvantage compared to a non-disabled person.
The duty to make adjustments may apply in three areas:
- Provision, Criterion, or Practice (PCP): Changing a rule, policy, or way of working.
- Example: Allowing a learner with chronic fatigue to take rest breaks or submit assignments later.
- Physical Features: Making changes to the physical environment.
- Example: Ensuring training venues are accessible, or providing accessible parking.
- Auxiliary Aid or Service: Providing extra support or equipment.
- Example: Providing course materials in large print, using a hearing loop, or securing a sign language interpreter for a training session.
Determining Reasonableness
We will assess the reasonableness of a requested adjustment based on factors including:
- The effectiveness of the adjustment in removing the disadvantage.
- The cost of the adjustment and our resources.
- The practicability of the adjustment.
- The impact on the academic or safety standards of the course (Mondapro will not compromise the essential learning outcomes of a program).
- The impact on other staff or learners.
4. Responsibilities

5. Confidentiality and Information
- All information provided by an individual regarding their disability or the need for adjustments will be treated as confidential and sensitive data in line with GDPR/privacy legislation.
- Information will only be shared with staff on a need-to-know basis to enable the provision of effective adjustments or support. Consent will be sought before sharing specific details of a disability.
- A formal record of all agreed reasonable adjustments will be maintained by the Programmes Director and reviewed periodically.
6. Complaints and Reporting Procedure
Any person who believes they have been subject to or have witnessed disability discrimination, harassment, or a failure to make a reasonable adjustment, should report it immediately.
- Informal Resolution: The individual should first attempt to resolve the issue by speaking directly with their trainer, line manager, or the Programmes Director.
- Formal Complaint: If the issue is not resolved informally, a formal written complaint must be submitted to the Programmes Director (or to the Director if the complaint is against the Programmes Director).
- Investigation: The designated manager will conduct a thorough, impartial, and confidential investigation into the complaint. Both the complainant and the person complained against will be given a fair opportunity to present their case.
- Action: Appropriate action will be taken based on the outcome of the investigation, which may include disciplinary action up to and including dismissal, or a change in policy/procedure to address the failure in adjustment.
- No Victimisation: No individual will be victimised or subjected to less favourable treatment for raising a complaint under this policy or for supporting a complainant.

MONDAPRO Equal Treatment Policy
MONDAPRO Equal Treatment Policy
Policy
The success of the company depends upon our people. Capitalising on what is unique about individuals, and drawing on their different perspectives and experiences adds value to our business.
MONDAPRO aims to recruit and develop talent from the widest talent pool and create an environment which is sensitive to and maximises individual differences, where everyone has a fair chance to succeed.
MONDAPRO is committed to being a fair and inclusive employer. To achieve, this we have policies and procedures to ensure that our employees understand and carry out what is expected of them.
As an Equal Opportunities Employer, no worker or potential worker is treated less favourably on the grounds of their disability, race, colour, religion or belief, nationality, ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender re-assignment, pregnancy, age, marital or civil partner status, employment status (including the fact that they may be a part-time or fixed term worker) or membership or non-membership of a trade union. No one is disadvantaged by any condition of employment or company requirement that is not necessary for operational reasons.
MONDAPRO shall at all times strive to work within legislative requirements as well as promote best practices.
This policy applies to all of MONDAPRO’s employees, whether permanent, temporary, casual, part-time or on fixed-term contracts, to job applicants and to individuals such as agency staff and consultants who work at MONDAPRO (collectively “workers”).
MONDAPRO recognises that all workers have a right to work in an environment in which the dignity of all is respected and which is free from harassment and bullying. It is committed to preventing and eliminating intimidation in any form.
In order to promote and maintain equality of opportunity and to eliminate discrimination, MONDAPRO ensures that:
- All potential and current employees, workers, customers, partners and stakeholders are treated fairly and with respect.
- All individuals have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination. Harassment, Victimisation bullying or any other form of unwanted behaviour will not be tolerated.
- No one is disadvantaged by conditions, requirements or practices which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
- All decisions relating to recruitment, selection, development and promotion are made according to an individual’s ability and based on merit.
- All employees have an equal chance to contribute and achieve their potential.
- Information and training will be provided as necessary to workers to make sure that discrimination, harassment, victimisation and bullying are avoided, and the provisions of this policy are complied with.
- Support is provided to those employees who have specific responsibility for ensuring compliance with this policy and who may be involved in dealing with any complaints that arise.
This policy aims to ensure that if inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour does occur, it will be dealt with in a serious, sensitive and confidential manner so that the matter can be resolved as quickly as possible for all concerned.
Harassment and Bullying
Harassment
Harassment is a form of discrimination that can be defined as conduct that is unreasonable, unwelcome, and offensive or that creates an intimidating, hostile or humiliating working environment. Whether the action was intended to cause offence or not, if the worker subjected to the behaviour finds it unacceptable and he or she feels damaged or harmed by it, this potentially constitutes harassment.
Bullying
Bullying means persistent or repeated unwarranted criticism, threats, abusive or insulting words, behaviour or written signs, either in public or private, which humiliate and affect the dignity of the individual. Bullying is identified by its effect on the worker.
The following are examples of bullying:
- Verbal abuse
- Excluding or isolating individuals
- Psychological harassment
- Assigning individuals meaningless tasks unrelated to their job
- Giving individuals impossible assignments
- Deliberately withholding information that is vital for effective work performance.
- This list is not exhaustive.
Disciplinary Measures
Disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, will be taken when an employee is found to have committed an act of unlawful discrimination, harassment or bullying.
Termination of Employment
MONDAPRO will monitor redundancy criteria and procedures to ensure that they are fair and objective and do not directly or indirectly discriminate. MONDAPRO is committed to monitoring the application of equal opportunities. Procedures will be regularly reviewed, and where necessary, they will be amended to ensure that everyone is treated fairly.
Responsibilities of Managers
It is the responsibility of managers to ensure that no unlawful discrimination or unacceptable behaviour takes place and to lead by example. Every manager has an obligation to prevent harassment/bullying and to take immediate action if such is identified.
Allegations of discrimination, harassment or bullying received either informally or formally through the Grievance Procedure must be dealt with promptly and sensitively. It may not always be appropriate for a line manager to be involved with a specific complaint. For example, if the complainant is male and wishes to speak to a male, but the manager is female or if the complaint relates to the conduct of the line manager. In such instances, the matter should be referred to the HR Department.
Responsibilities of all Workers
Promoting inclusion and eliminating any form of discrimination depends on the personal commitment of all workers, who must accept their personal responsibility in the implementation of this policy. Deliberate failure to observe the requirements of this policy will (where applicable) be subject to disciplinary action through MONDAPRO’s disciplinary procedure.
Handling Complaints of Discrimination/Harassment/Bullying
Managers will support any employee who complains about harassment, bullying or discrimination at work and will make sure that a full investigation takes place.
If an employee is harassed, bullied or suffers discrimination at work, they may want the matter to be dealt with informally at first. If the situation cannot be resolved informally, then the complainant has the right to pursue his or her complaint formally via MONDAPRO's Grievance Procedure.
The Manager or HR Manager will discuss the matter with the complainant and agree on a course of action. At any meeting, the complainant may be accompanied by a Trade Union representative or a colleague. The alleged harasser also will be given the opportunity to state their version of events to the manager and to also be accompanied by a Trade Union representative or colleague.
The complainant must be assured that he/she will not be discriminated against or victimised for raising a complaint in good faith. False allegations of a breach of this policy may, however, be considered a disciplinary offence. Where possible, confidentiality will be observed. However, there may be occasions when MONDAPRO cannot guarantee confidentiality and/or where allegations are sufficiently serious that MONDAPRO must investigate them and cannot (possibly due to the nature of the allegations) guarantee confidentiality. If you have any concerns about this, you should contact the HR Department.
Employee Assistance Programme
If an employee feels that they have been harassed, bullied or discriminated against, they may wish to use the confidential helpline for information and support, where confidentiality can be guaranteed. Also, support is available from the HR Department who are available to:
- suggest ways to deal with the complaint
- help to resolve the problem informally
- advise on the Grievance Procedure
- where appropriate (i.e. where it has been requested by an individual that a complaint is not dealt with via formal procedures and that HR assists with an intervention on the employee’s behalf) seek an undertaking from the "offender/s" to stop the behaviour which is causing the problem.
Communication
MONDAPRO is committed to ensuring that this policy is effective and that all workers are informed of this policy. MONDAPRO reserves the right to change or amend this policy from time to time.
