As a UK public body we are legally required to promote equality in these areas, but because we are an international organisation our Integrated Equality Scheme applies worldwide, not just in the UK.

The easiest way to understand the Integrated Equality Scheme is to read the Executive Summary, along with the equality objectives outlined for disability, gender and race.  We will report each year on the progress we have made against our Integrated Equality Scheme.
