This guidance sets out the Parole Board’s duty under the Equality Act 2010.

The Parole Board is committed to protecting and promoting equality and diversity.

Fairness and inclusion are fundamental principles of the Board and work must be conducted in a way which reflects the diverse communities and respects individual differences.

The Board is committed to eliminating discrimination and complying with its statutory duties, including those under the Equality Act 2010.

The following guidance is not exhaustive; panels must always consider the needs of those that they encounter within their work (such as prisoners, witnesses, solicitors, victims, co-panellists and members of the secretariat).
