As an NHS trust, we are sometimes required by regulators and commissioners to publish public statements and declarations.
We may also respond to key issues and relevant topics to support patients, staff and the local communities we serve. You can read more about these below.
Racism does not have a place in our organisation. In 2020 we published an anti-racist statement, publicly pledging our commitment to become anti-racist.
Under our standards of business conduct policy, it is the responsibility for all staff to ensure they are not placed in a position which risks or appears to risk conflict between their private interests and NHS duties.
You can see the latest declarations from our Board of Directors and Council of Governors on these pages:
Where our staff are offered gifts, hospitality or entertainment, these should be declined unless they are of low intrinsic value. Any which are accepted should be formally registered. View the latest gift and hospitality reports.
Under the Freedom of Information Act (2000), you can request any recorded information that is held by Pennine Care.
We publish all previous Freedom of Information requests received by Pennine Care and also publish our spending over £25,000.
The Provider Selection Regime (PSR) is a set of rules that governs how NHS England, NHS trusts like Pennine Care, and local authorities procure healthcare services.
Visit our provider selection regime page for more information about the rules and process, and an annual summary of the contracts we have awarded.
We are committed to ensuring that no modern slavery or human trafficking takes place in any part of our business or our supply chain. Visit our safeguarding page to read our modern slavery statement.
We have a zero tolerance approach to discrimination, victimisation or harassment on the basis of a person’s gender identity. In 2021 we published a transgender and non-binary statement to publicly reinforce this approach.
We have published a full statement on the accessibility of this website and some of the work we are doing to improve it. Read our accessibility statement.
We are committed to being a fair and inclusive employer and monitor how we’re doing by publishing these reports:
- Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES), which highlights the experience of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) members of the workforce compared to their white counterparts.
- Workforce Disability Equality Standard (WDES) which highlights the experiences of disabled members of the workforce compared to their non-disabled counterparts.
- Gender pay gap reporting, which looks at the disparity of pay between male and female workers.
