<p>Employees can voluntarily declare their diversity data on our HR systems.</p><p>
</p><p>DFID contracts are awarded after a process of fair and open competition on
the basis of value for money, capability to deliver programme outputs and, as relevant
to the specific procurement, equality considerations. DFID’s standard contract Term
and Conditions require partners not to unlawfully discriminate on the basis of protected
characteristics, have due regard for the advancement of equal opportunity and promote
good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do
not. Partners are also required to adhere to relevant recommendations by the Equality
and Human Rights Commission. DFID’s Supply Partner Code of Conduct requires contractors
to ensure that robust procedures are adopted and maintained to eliminate the risk
of poor human rights practices, including any inequality or discrimination on the
basis of race, gender, age, religion, sexuality, culture or disability. Both requirements
are legally binding and subject to compliance checks by DFID.</p><p> </p>
