Equality and diversity

Our vision

The IPCC is committed to promoting equality and valuing diversity in everything we do.

As someone coming into contact with the IPCC as a service provider you can expect:

• The IPCC to make reasonable adjustments to communicate and deliver our services in a way that best addresses your needs

• The IPCC to treat you with courtesy and respect

• For us to follow up any comments or concerns you’ve raised about the service we deliver

• That we will think about the impact of the strategies and policies we make on the people they will affect, and take all reasonable steps to involve them in the development and consultation process.

As an employee of the IPCC you can expect:

• To be treated fairly and without discrimination during your employment, commencing with the recruitment process, and having access to career development opportunities based on merit.

• To be fairly appraised and rewarded for your personal contribution to the IPCC’s work.

• To work in a healthy and safe environment free from hazards.

• To access opportunities for training and development to enable you to develop to your full potential.

• To be supported in balancing your work and home life.

• To be treated with dignity and respect in a fair and consistent manner in an environment where inappropriate behaviour in not tolerated.
