Diversity

We are committed to eliminating discrimination. We aim to ensure that no one experiences discrimination of any kind as a result of gender, relationship status, sexual orientation, race or ethnic origin, age, disability, religion or political beliefs.

Actions taken include:

• Impact assessment training for staff
• A Diversity action plan
• Victim database has been updated and minority ethnic information is now accessible
• An audit of disabled staff and staff with special needs has been completed and forwarded to the National Probation Directorate
• Information on regulations concerning faith, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation has been circulated to all staff
• Members of Diversity in Practice attended training to work with racially motivated offenders.
• Offender programme timetabling now takes account of religious festivals as recommended by the Faith/Religion and Sexual Orientation regulations (December 2003)
• Impact assessments have been carried out on identified policies including recruitment and selection policies.
