<p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is committed to the creation of a
diverse and inclusive working environment to ensure staff do not face any barriers
to success, and all staff feel supported at work. As such, the Department is committed
to the steps established in the Civil Service 2016 Talent Action Plan to help the
Civil Service become the most inclusive employer in the UK. The Department is also
committed to working with a diverse range of external organisations, to ensure our
work reflects a broad range of opinions across the UK.</p><p>The Department has an
active equalities network to provide support and has appointed Catherine Webb as the
dedicated senior equalities champion who sits on the Department's Executive Board
and provides support and board level representation for the equalities networks. The
department has dedicated mental health first aiders and has signed the Time to Change
pledge in February 2017. Additionally DExEU has subscribed to the Disability Confident
Employer Scheme and the two tick guaranteed interview scheme. We also intend to participate
in the Stonewall equality index benchmarking exercise and the Social Mobility Index.</p><p>
