The British Council have identified five organisational core values - valuing people, integrity, mutuality, creativity and professionalism.  These govern our organisational culture, the decisions we make and how we behave internally and in our dealings with clients, customers and suppliers. These values underpin how we implement equality of opportunity and how we value diversity.

Equal Opportunity and Diversity

In line with our values, we are strongly committed to the Equal Opportunity and Diversity agenda. We work to promote the UK’s achievements in this area and to showcase relevant British Council work.

Integrated Equality Scheme

Our Integrated Equality Scheme has been developed to help us promote equality and eliminate discrimination in the areas of gender, race and disability.

The British Council will progress its Equal Opportunity Policy through its Diversity Strategy and its Integrated Equality Scheme.
