Raeburn Consulting Equal Opportunities Statement
- Last reviewed
- June 2026
- Applies to
- Clients, collaborators, candidates, employees, contractors, suppliers, and future team members
Raeburn Consulting is committed to equal opportunities, fair treatment, inclusive recruitment, and accessible working practices.
We believe that people should be treated with dignity, respect, fairness, and care regardless of background, identity, disability, health condition, caring responsibilities, neurodivergence, or personal circumstances.
As an AI automation and recruitment operations consultancy, we also recognise that technology can either improve fairness or reinforce barriers if it is implemented badly. Our approach is to design practical, human-led systems that support better decision-making, reduce unnecessary friction, and improve access rather than exclude people.
Our Commitment
Raeburn Consulting is committed to ensuring that no person is treated unfairly because of:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage or civil partnership
- Pregnancy or maternity
- Race, nationality, ethnicity, or national origin
- Religion or belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- Neurodivergence
- Long-term health conditions
- Caring responsibilities
- Socio-economic background
- Any other characteristic or personal circumstance that should not affect fair treatment
How This Applies To Our Work
We aim to apply equal opportunities principles across:
- How we communicate with clients and collaborators
- How we design recruitment workflows
- How we advise clients on candidate and client processes
- How we develop AI-assisted workflows
- How we approach accessibility and reasonable adjustments
- How we select future employees, contractors, and suppliers
- How we build policies as the company grows
Inclusive Recruitment And AI
Raeburn Consulting supports recruitment systems that are clear, fair, accessible, and accountable.
When advising clients on AI, automation, CRM systems, dashboards, screening processes, or workflow design, we encourage:
- Human oversight in important recruitment decisions
- Clear and explainable process design
- Awareness of potential bias in data, workflows, and automation
- Fair candidate communication
- Accessibility for disabled and neurodivergent candidates
- Reasonable adjustments where needed
- Avoiding unnecessary barriers in application and hiring processes
AI should support better recruitment decisions. It should not blindly replace professional judgement, human care, or fair review.
Disability Confident

- Additional time where practical
- Accessible documents
- Reduced unnecessary complexity
