The British Council is committed to equal opportunity and diversity. We focus on seven areas of diversity:

• Age
• Disability
• Gender
• Race
• Religion
• Sexual Identity
• Work / Life balance

We believe the last area is a cross-cultural issue that affects the lives of us all.

We believe diversity complements our work in cultural relations and promoting the UK.

We have developed our Integrated Equality Scheme to help us promote equality and eliminate discrimination in the areas of gender, race, and disability. You can also find out how we are applying this scheme worldwide.

For details of our corporate approach to Equal Opportunities and Diversity, please see our corporate website.

In Vietnam we have regular training events for our staff including induction, diversity awareness training for all staff, an e-learning module in diversity, and training focussing on specific areas such as disability.
