We treat every individual with the same fairness, equality and respect. Our approach involves undertaking all reasonable measures so that we can accommodate a diverse range of individuals, as per the Equalities Act 2010. We also act in accordance to any other legislation that may arise in relation to forms of discrimination. This includes, but is not limited to, Employment or the provision of goods and services.
Client Needs
We operate a professional legal service and in doing so we have created an environment that accounts for a diverse range of clients; we do not want anyone to feel excluded from our firm. Hence, we give every client the same respect and consideration, whilst not discriminating on any grounds.
We are constantly evolving our measures to ensure that we are accessible to everyone. We come across a vast range of individuals in our dealings and hence, we are well equipped to deal with clients of all physical and linguistic abilities. We are professionally trained to deal with sensitive matters and to meet our client’s needs. This is regardless of gender, religion, age, sexual orientation or ability.
Immigration Hour is always open to suggestions on how we can improve our client service or facilities. Please do not hesitate to contact us to confidentially discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
