The British Council has an Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy as well as Child Protection policy. We ask our partners and service providers to review these policies and by signing a contract with us, adhere to these policies.

Equal Opportunity

The British Council has an Equal Opportunities Diversity and Inclusion 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. Our Equal Opportunities Policy forms part of your partnership with the British Council, and we expect all our partners to respect its principles in carrying their work with the British Council.

Child Protection

The British Council believe that all children have potential and that every child matters – everywhere in the world. The British Council affirms the position that all children have the right to be protected from all forms of abuse as set out in article 19, UNCRC 1989.

In line with the British Council's Child Protection policy, any appointment is contingent on thorough checks including criminal record checks, in line with legal requirements.
