HR Policies using non-gendered language
Dear Ministry of Justice,
On the 3rd June, the Telegraph reported that “HR policies [for the Ministry of Justice] have in recent years been updated to include non-gendered language and in some internal documents terms mother and father had been removed.]”
Please provide copies of the relevant HR polices which have been updated in such a way, along with details of internal documents where the terms “mother and father” have been removed. Internal documents need not be the full documents but relative paragraphs and titles of documents.
Yours faithfully,
Eloise Freya
