Equality and diversity
Gender pay gap
All employers with 250 or more staff must publish gender pay gap figures on an annual basis.
The figures set out the average pay gap between men and women as a:
- mean, or average hourly basis
- median, or hourly pay average of the person in the middle

The statement:

Public sector equality duty compliance
Setting and publishing equality information is part of NHS Kernow’s compliance with the Equality Act (2010). It helps to show how we meet the requirements of the public sector equality duty. Read our equality information report (PDF, 524 KB)
Our equality objectives are to:
- raise awareness of protected characteristics and their cultures
- monitor our workforce, recruitment, promotion, and selection processes
- develop our workforce across all levels of the organisation, where staff are engaged and supported, and leaders and managers foster a culture of inclusion, wellbeing, and diversity
Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES)
The WRES aims to highlight the differences between the experience and treatment of white staff and ethnic minority staff. It aims to close the gap experienced in those metrics. Implementing the WRES is a requirement for both NHS commissioners and NHS healthcare providers. Read our WRES report.
