Equality and diversity

The different backgrounds, experience and talents of our staff are critical to ensuring our success as the regulator of Britain's railway and we aim to harness these differences within the framework of our shared values. We work to ensure that our people practices reflect the value we put on these differences, so that we foster an open and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued for the part they play in that success.

Our policies and practices that relate to equality and diversity are below:

• Introducing the ORR equality schemes
• Race equality scheme - sets out how we aim to eliminate racial discrimination and promote equal opportunities.
• Disability equality scheme  - outlines how we meet our equality duties.
• Gender equality scheme - aims to reassess the way in which we consider gender when carrying out our functions. 
• Whistleblowing policy - explains how to raise any concerns you have over past, present or future malpractice within the ORR.
