Policies / Equality & Inclusion Policy

We believe good architecture is shaped by a diversity of perspectives, experiences and voices. Creating an inclusive, respectful and supportive working environment is an important part of how we practice.

Oran Architecture is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion throughout the practice and to eliminating unlawful discrimination.

Our aim is to create a working environment that is inclusive, respectful and supportive, where all individuals feel valued and able to contribute fully. We seek to ensure fairness and equal opportunity in employment, professional development and collaboration across all areas of the practice.

Oran Architecture will not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.

We oppose all forms of unlawful discrimination, bullying, harassment and victimisation. All employees, consultants, applicants and collaborators will be treated fairly and with respect, regardless of whether they are employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary or freelance basis.

Selection for employment, promotion, training and progression will be based on aptitude, ability and professional merit. We are committed to supporting staff development and creating opportunities that allow individuals to realise their full potential.

Our commitment is to:

• create a working environment in which individual differences and contributions are recognised and valued
• foster a culture of dignity, inclusion and mutual respect
• ensure that no form of intimidation, bullying or harassment is tolerated
• provide fair access to training, development and progression opportunities
