Equal Opportunities
The Planning Inspectorate is committed to ensuring:
- Equality of opportunity; and
- That all our systems are fair, open and objective and visible to those inside and outside the organisation.
We endeavour to promote this approach in those with whom we come into contact. Also we believe that we are all responsible for ensuring that the highest principles of equal opportunities are put into effect.
As an equal opportunities organisation we make no distinction between people on grounds of their:
- race
- ethnic or national origin
- age
- religion
- sex
- marital status
- disability
- part-time status
- sexual orientation
All staff are able to challenge discriminatory attitudes and practices.
All posts in the Planning Inspectorate - whether as Inspectors or in our offices - are open to staff who want to work on a part-time basis. A variety of arrangements are available, for example, term-time working, working three weeks in four or part-time hours.
