answer text <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>

answer text Responsibility for local authority spending and borrowing decisions lies with locally-elected council Members, who are democratically accountable to their electorates. Local authorities are required to have regard to the Prudential Code and statutory guidance when they borrow from the PWLB or from any other lender, these are published by The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and form the Prudential Framework. The main objective of the Prudential Framework is to ensure that the capital investment plans of local authorities are affordable, prudent and sustainable. Before it can advance a loan to a local authority, the Public Works Loan Board requires formal assurance from the authority that the loan is within their borrowing powers and the relevant legislation. more like this

answer text <p>The aggregate amount that may be outstanding in respect of commitments entered into by the Public Works Loan Board is limited, and this limit set out in section 4 (1) of the 1968 National Loans Act. Since December 2017, the limit has stood at £85 billion. There is no separate limit about lending amounts in any one year.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities are responsible for determining their own limits on the aggregate amount of borrowing that they may have outstanding. The statutory guidance on borrowing and investment was updated in 2018; the updated guidance introduced a new requirement for all English local authorities to set limits for gross debt compared to net service expenditure. Authorities which exceeded their self-assessed limits should, in accordance with the guidance, refrain from making further investments other than short term investments required for efficient treasury management.</p> more like this
