This report reflects our gender and ethnicity pay gap data as of March 2023, which we annually report in arrears.
Although our staff count falls below the 250-employee threshold for mandatory gender pay gap reporting, we have voluntarily chosen to publish our findings for the fifth year, believing it aligns with best practices and promotes transparency in pay across the public sector.
We continue to strive for an inclusive, welcoming, and fair environment for all members of our team. These plans encompass various aspects of our operations, from recruitment and promotions to training and mentorship, all aimed at eliminating barriers and promoting equal opportunities. The ultimate goal is to ensure that every member of our organisation is provided with a fair and equal path to success to support the regulator in driving change in the social housing sector to deliver more and better social housing.
In accordance with the current requirements for reporting on the gender pay gap, our approach involves categorising gender into male and female within our data classification.
It is important to note that we define gender in accordance with the classifications provided by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which categorise individuals as male or female, in our data.
In the context of this report, we have employed the terms ‘gender,’ ‘male,’ and ‘female,’ understanding that they typically relate to biological sex. However, it’s important to acknowledge that for some individuals, these terms may not fully encapsulate their gender identity.
