Ministry of Justice: Equality
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what diversity, equality and inclusion targets her Department has for staff recruitment.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
The Department welcomes job applications from everyone, irrespective of background, identity, experience, or circumstance, and particularly those underrepresented in our workforce.
The Ministry of Justice as a whole does not have diversity staff recruitment targets.
HM Prison and Probation Service uses the proportion of people from ethnic minorities in the economically active population, according to the Labour Force Survey, as a comparator when examining the ethnic minority representation of its workforce and recruitment.
