	Thames Valley Probation Area has a number of initiatives in place to promote diversity. These include: A diversity policy A Race Equality Scheme A sub-group of the Thames Valley Probation Board (called the Diversity Forum)		Diversity 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, behaving, communicating and working. Legislation in the UK covers discrimination on the grounds of race, sex and disability through direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and institutional discrimination. Thames Valley Probation Area aims to prevent discrimination in the service above and beyond the legal requirement. Thames Valley Probation's Diversity Policy: Thames Valley Probation Area aims to provide an environment in which everyone feels valued, respected and motivated to contribute their best towards the service. The key to this aim is developing and promoting a culture in which everyone recognises and values the diversity of our employees, job applicants, partners, offenders, victims and beneficiaries. We aim to provide an environment free from discrimination, harassment and bullying and in which everyone we relate to should be treated fairly irrespective of: Age Differing work patterns Disability Marital or family status Gender, gender realignment, gender orientation Membership or non-membership of a trade union, professional status or role, public services roles, qualifications or expertise Race, colour, nationality, ethnic origins or community background Real or suspected HIV/AIDS Religious or political beliefs and affiliations Any convictions not relevant to the issue concerned		Introduction The Community Order Accredited programmes Tagging Are you in prison?
