Creating an ethnically and gender diverse interview panel for your vacancy.
One of the key objectives in MoJ’s inclusive recruitment guidance is to build a diverse workforce that represents the society we serve. One way we are seeking to address this is through diverse interview panels to ensure a fairer and more diverse selection process.
When creating an interview panel please ensure, as a mandatory requirement, that your panel is gender diverse and, where possible, an ethnic minority or a disability representative is included.
Please ensure that ALL panel members have completed relevant training courses and possess a strong familiarity with published guidance materials.
Note for HMPPS Vacancy Managers only: HMPPS Vacancy Managers can request a diverse panel member through Business Support Services via the Diverse Panels Application. Further details and information are contained within the guidance document, this can be found within the HMPPS “Vacancies and Hiring People” section of the intranet.
