Equal Opportunities and Diversity British Council Bulgaria

Equal Opportunities and Diversity

The British Council has adopted an Equal Opportunities Policy that prohibits unjustifiable discrimination on the grounds of gender, marital status, sexual identity, religious belief, political opinion, race, work pattern, age, disability or HIV/AIDS status, socio-economic background, past convictions, trade union activity or membership, or on the basis of having or not having dependants.
We focus on 7 main areas of diversity:

Age

Disability

Ethnicity/race

Gender (which includes transgender)

Religion/belief

Sexual orientation

Work-life balance
