Kooth is committed to fair and equitable experiences for all colleagues. This report sets out our gender pay gap for 2025/26, alongside prior years.
It measures the difference between the median hourly pay of men and women, expressed as a percentage of men’s pay. It is not the same as equal pay, which relates to men and women receiving the same pay for the same or equivalent work.
