Equality & Diversity Policy

Park View Dental Practice is committed to providing inclusive, person-centred dental care in a welcoming environment where every patient and member of staff is treated with dignity and respect.

We do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy or maternity, or any other protected characteristic, in line with the Equality Act 2010 and the standards set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and General Dental Council (GDC).

What this means for our patients:

• We will make reasonable adjustments so that everyone can access our services including longer appointments, accessible communication formats, interpreter support, and adapted waiting arrangements.

• We will ask about your communication or access needs when you register or book, so we can plan ahead.

• All clinical decisions and conversations will be tailored to you as an individual -we will never make assumptions based on your background, identity, or appearance.

• Your privacy, dignity, and personal identity will be respected at all times

What this means for our team:

• All staff are recruited, trained, and supported fairly.

• Bullying, harassment, and discriminatory behaviour are not tolerated.

• All staff complete equality, diversity, and inclusion training.
