Ethnicity Pay Gap

Derbyshire Constabulary is committed to being a fair and inclusive employer of choice. To help achieve that aim, the Constabulary already reports on its gender pay gap and is now able to publish its second report on the ethnicity pay gap.

This report shares our findings on the ethnicity pay gap within Derbyshire Constabulary and outlines what we’re doing to address this.

The report looks at our representation of police officers and police staff from Asian, Black, Mixed/Multiple ethnic, White and Other groups.

The ethnicity pay gap report highlights the difference in the average hourly pay between officers and staff from minority ethnic backgrounds in our workforce, compared to white officers and staff. Where there is a positive percentage, this means that the average pay of a white member of staff is higher than that of a member of staff from an ethnic minority. The ethnicity pay gap aims to demonstrate the difference across the organisation.

We are conscious that the whole picture around inclusion and equality is of course much broader. Representation is important for us and we continue to work to increase the representation of police officer and police staff employees who are from our Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic (B.A.M.E) communities at all ranks and grades, through our attraction, recruitment, retention, and promotion initiatives.
