Avon and Somerset Probation Area have continued to set the standard within the Probation Service nationally for Diversity practice and have been ranked 18th overall in the top 100 employers by Stonewall. As a Probation Diversity Champion, they have demonstrated the success of their diversity policies and the extent to which they encourage job applications from lesbian and gay workers.
Justice Minister David Hanson said: “I’m really proud that Avon and Somerset Probation Area has been recognised for providing a welcoming place for gay, lesbian and bisexual people to work. It is crucial that those who serve society should reflect the diversity that exists. I know from personal experience that all probation areas in England and Wales are working to open their doors to a wider section of the community. I look forward to seeing more probation areas being recognised in the future.”
