The link and information provided on the websites are sources of information and all responses you
provide here must be clearly referenced. Policies and procedures must be your own work.

have analysed and identified in Question 2; develop a diversity policy which sufficiently covers all
aspects required to manage diversity in a contemporary, modern workplace which fosters
