Equal opportunity

We are committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion - and eliminating unlawful discrimination - in our workforce, with our clients and the general public. We do this through a number of initiatives:

Our equal opportunities policy covers all the protected groups and forms part of our employment contract.

We do not discriminate directly or indirectly on the grounds of Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race, Religion or Belief, Sex, Sexual Orientation, in the provision of services to our customers, the public and as an employer.

We have developed an inclusive recruitment policy and we monitor the diversity of candidates when recruiting to review if we are getting applicants from a range of diverse backgrounds.

We monitor diversity in our workforce to benchmark diversity in our workplace, so we can monitor if we are maintaining a diverse workforce over time and to help identify areas of under-representation.

We run training with staff when they join on what our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion means in practice.

We are a signatory to the Tech Talent Charter, making a commitment to work together with other organisations to increase the inclusion and diversity of the tech workforce in the UK.

We also run regular culture surveys which ask staff questions to determine whether we have a respectful and inclusive culture, and we consistently score highly on these.
