The way in which the Prison Service meets its equality duties is set out in ‘Promoting Equality in Prisons and Probation: the National Offender Management Service Single Equality Scheme 2009 – 2012' (the SES).
The SES expresses our commitment to go beyond our current legal obligations, and to work to ensure that we provide a fair service to all.
The SES includes an Action Plan which constitutes a large programme of work at a national level to establish the key delivery mechanisms and to make available the tools that staff in establishments will use to achieve the change that we seek.
Progress on the SES Action Plan is reported regularly to the NOMS Agency Management Board, as well as to Ministers and to the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Annual reports, which will include monitoring data and updates on progress on the Action Plan, will also be published.
You can view the NOMS Single Equality Scheme on the Ministry of Justice website.
We are committed to responding positively where possible to requests for documents to be provided in alternative formats and languages.
Please contact the Race and Equalities Action Group on 020 7217 2522 or email REAG@hmps.gsi.gov.uk to discuss your requirements.
