Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other they are also different in many ways. Diversity is expressed in all the visible and invisible differences between people and this can lead to differences in experiences, values, attitudes, ways of thinking, behav-ing, communicating and working.
West Mercia Probation Trust is committed to promoting and integrating equality in every aspect of our work, ensuring we meet the requirements of staff, offenders and victims. All people coming into contact with this service can expect to be treated with equality and fairness.
We are committed to preventing discrimination in our work above and beyond the legal requirements. Our goal is to provide an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and motivated to contribute their best. This is why we aspire to work with "REGARDS", our way for remem-bering the importance of Race, Economic disadvantage, Gender, Age, Religion and belief, Disability and Sexual orientation. You will see REGARDS on all of our written material, this is my invitation to hold us to our aspiration.

The Golden Rule
The ethic of reciprocity or “TheGolden Rule” is a fundamental moral principle which simplymeans ‘treat others as you would like to be treated’. It has been stated in many ways byphilosophers and religious traditions.
Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against, not with the wind.Hamilton Wright Mabie
