175 women (70.3%) and 74 (29.7%) men and shows:

Men’s mean hourly rate is 3.4% higher than women’s

Men’s median hourly rate is 1.7% higher than women’s

Our gender pay gap is £0.59 in favour of women.

There are approximately 66 posts in the upper quartile (highest paid) of which 49 (74%) are held by women and over the years we have taken pro-active steps to identify and close any pay disparities.

We are also taking positive action to actively recruit more men into our frontline services to provide male role models for the children, young people and families we work with.
