The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is committed to building an inclusive culture for people of all faiths, beliefs and non-beliefs. It’s important our colleagues can bring their whole selves to work without fear of prejudice, discrimination or harassment based on what they do or do not believe. To support this, we should all understand how best to engage with each other, as well as people on probation, in a respectful and non-intrusive way. That includes appreciating that people might interpret the requirements of their faith, belief and non-belief in different ways, and so may not follow the same practices and observances as others who share that identity.
Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) values: Purpose, Humanity, Openness and Together. As a part of our values it is our responsibility to ensure that we deliver faith and belief inclusive services to victims and witnesses of crime, people on probation and members of the public who come into contact with the justice system. Understanding the diverse needs of people on probation will assist policy and delivery teams with their work towards achieving the HMPPS strategy.
