P5: How is diversity promoted and practised by UK public services? How
successful have these efforts been? (The Army, NHS, education and the
police)
Britain’s public services work under tight instructions to promote diversity and
equality within their own workforce by making sure they have diverse variety
of employees. All public services have equal opportunity guidelines, policies
and recruitment strategies in place to ensure that a wide range of cultures,
religions and ethnicities are part of the workforce and have full equality to
be if they wanted to and so that working is pleasant for them and there is no
bullying and harassment in the workplace. Public services back up the belief
that no one should be discriminated against because of their gender,
sexuality, or physical disability. Only in the past 5 years have women been
granted equality in the armed forces by being allowed to fight along the
front line in war. The public services make sure their services are accessible
to everyone in the area and that everyone’s needs can be met by having
their leaflets and websites in different languages other than English, having
equality and diversity officers and making sure their buildings are accessible
for people with disabilities.
For instance, the police department has employed only 4.4% of ethnic
minorities and only 25% of the whole police force are women. Only 2% of the
4.4% of ethnic minorities within the police force are BME’s (black ethnic
minorities) and only 50/2755 fire arm officers are BME’s. Within the RAF there
only 1.8% are ethnic minority employees and only 3% of employees in the fire
bridge are women. The public services came up with a strategy called the
diversity strategy of 2013 which aims to have all managers demonstrate
effective leadership with regards to equality and diversity and have an
inclusive workforce where staff respect and value each other’s diversity. This
means the public services are working hard to encourage diversity and
equality within their job roles and encourage and enable more women and
ethnic minorities to apply. Anti-discriminatory policies were also put into
place so people should succeed in their career by how hard they work not
by their sexuality, gender or skin colour.
P6: Explain the duty of public services to provide equality of service to all
citizens
British public services are determined to make sure that they offer an equal
service to all members of the public and meet the needs of all different
people. Public services do this by conducting a variety of strategies to
ensure that all members of the public are treated equally and all receive
the highest level of service.
