Facts, figures and actions

Sellick Partnership is committed to ensuring all candidates receive fair access to job opportunities. We continually assess our processes, training and service delivery to ensure that we consider all nine protected characteristics. Our Diversity Champions undertake a range of improvement initiatives, and these are documented within our Diversity Charter.

​Action taken and improvements made to date include:

Accessibility tools

In 2022, we made our services as accessible as possible to our candidates and clients by forming a partnership with Recite Me to implement their accessibility toolbar onto our website.

D&I training

We rolled out a new annual equal opportunities training module to all staff at Sellick Partnership who are involved in recruitment and management in 2022.

External training

We invested in tailored 'Inclusion within the Recruitment Process' training, delivered by an external expert, for our Diversity Champions at the end of 2022.

Internal process reviews

A critical review of our internal recruitment approach was conducted. As part of this, we updated our internal interview process to ensure we employ inclusive and equitable recruitment approaches in our own hiring methods.

Training module

We are devising a new Inclusion and Equity in Recruitment training module for all staff involved in delivering recruitment services, which will be rolled out in Q3 of 2023.

Inclusion checklist

We launched our Client Inclusion Checklist for inclusive recruitment processes in 2023, to support our clients with a critical review of their own recruitment processes and how they could build inclusion within this.

Employability workshops

Delivering employability skills workshops to people, including college and university students, as well as individuals currently out of work. This was in partnership with local housing associations.

Women in business

Some of our employees have attended Women in Business events since 2022, to help our female workforce with their own personal wellbeing and professional development.

Diversity showcase

We rolled out an internal 'Diversity showcase' in 2023 with monthly focuses on key topics and characteristics to increase awareness and knowledge across our organisation.
