ADVICE PROCESS
Anyone affected by discrimination can contact the members of the Equal Opportunities Service by e-mail. Then, in a confidential meeting, the incident in question can be discussed, as well as individual aims and the options that are open. If it becomes clear that an intervention in the situation is not necessary, or desired, the incident will be documented, making sure that the person affected remains anonymous. If an intervention is necessary or desired, as an example further talks with the other party involved may take place. If in the initial discussion it becomes clear that the Equal Opportunities Service is not responsible, the service will attempt to direct the case to another, suitable service.
