Gender Pay Gap Statement

Our commitment

At Family First, we are committed to creating a workplace where everyone is treated fairly, valued for their contribution, and given equal opportunity to succeed.

We recognise the importance of transparency and accountability in relation to gender equality and are committed to addressing any disparities that exist.

This statement is published in accordance with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 and outlines our gender pay gap data and the actions we are taking to promote equality across our workforce.

Understanding the Gender Pay Gap

The gender pay gap measures the difference between the average earnings of men and women across an organisation.

It is important to note that the gender pay gap is not the same as equal pay. Equal pay relates to men and women receiving the same pay for doing the same or equivalent work.

Our gender pay gap reflects the distribution of men and women across different roles and levels within the organisation, rather than differences in pay for the same work.

Our workforce

Family First operates in a sector where the workforce is often predominantly female, particularly in roles that directly support children and families.

Our gender pay gap is therefore influenced by the distribution of men and women across different types of roles and levels of seniority, rather than unequal pay practices.

We remain committed to ensuring that all colleagues are rewarded fairly for the work they do.

Actions We Are Taking

We are committed to continuing to build a workplace where opportunity is accessible to everyone. Key actions include:

Supporting career progression

We are focused on developing leadership capability and supporting colleagues to progress within the organisation.

Ensuring fair recruitment and promotion processes

We aim to ensure recruitment and progression decisions are transparent, fair and based on merit.

Monitoring pay practices

We regularly review our pay practices to ensure fairness and consistency.

Developing inclusive leadership

We support leaders across the organisation to create inclusive teams and workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Looking Forward

Family First is committed to continually improving gender equality across the organisation. We will continue to monitor our gender pay gap and take steps to address any underlying causes.

We believe that creating an inclusive workplace strengthens our organisation and ultimately helps us deliver better outcomes for the children and families we support.
