Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Our approach to inclusion is something we build together every day, it is part of who we are and how we work.
At the Gambling Commission we want everyone to feel like they belong. This is the core of our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and is a key part of what we offer anyone who joins the organisation. We believe people do their best work when they feel supported, respected and free to be themselves. Our approach to inclusion is something we build together every day, it is part of who we are and how we work.
Inclusion is part of how we work
Our approach to diversity and inclusion is not just about doing the right thing. It’s about creating a workplace where everyone feels heard and valued. Whether you are just starting with us or have been here for a while, we want you to feel:
- Recognised for who you are and what you bring – 87% of employees agree the Gambling Commission values all people regardless of individual differences
- Encouraged and supported to grow in your role
- Connected to people who care about your wellbeing
- Treated fairly and with respect, always
To help make that happen, we’ve put inclusive practices in place across the Commission. For example, we use diverse panels in recruitment and regularly review our processes to make sure they are fair, open and accessible.
You’ll be part of a community that cares
We have a number of colleague-led networks that play a big role in shaping our culture. These include groups for Pride, Neurodiversity, Menopause, Parents and Carers, Black colleagues and South Asian colleagues. They offer connection, support and a space for honest conversations.
Our D&I Strategy gives everyone a chance to get involved and feel confident playing their part in making the Commission a better place to work.
