We are actively committed to promoting our public sector equality duties in all aspects of our work and to being an organisation that is diverse at all levels. 

In particular:

• As an employer, we will ensure recruitment, training, promotion, and career opportunities are fair and equally open to all,
• As a service provider, we will ensure all communities have equal access to our office and to justice
• As an investigative body, we will ensure we address complaints about injustice arising from all forms of racism and discrimination thoroughly, and
• As an organisation that cares about our staff wellbeing, we will ensure we maintain a diverse and welcoming environment for all and we do not tolerate racism, discrimination, or abuse that is targeted at our staff.

To deliver these goals, we have committed to our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Programme being a key part of our 2021/24 Corporate Three Year Plan.
