Diversity and Equal Opportunity

We provided training in 'Diversity Awareness and Valuing Inclusion' to the Senior Management Teams at each of the business units. Managers at HQ are following a similar programme and an e-learning package on Diversity will be delivered to all staff.

We monitor our staff profile across a range of diversity issues and have set targets for women, ethnic minority and disabled staff in the SCS and in the feeder grades below.

• Of our SCS staff at the end of 2002: 26% were women, 3% were ethnic minorities and there was no declared representation of disabled staff.
• Our targets for SCS and feeder grade staff are: 30% women in 2005, 5% ethnic minority in 2010 and 5% disabled staff in 2010.

We monitor age profiles by grade and business unit. We have been recognised by the Employers' Forum on Age as working towards best practice in this area.

Our Race Equality Scheme is in preparation. This will include a policy screening template and information about monitoring in respect of employment duties.
