Diversity & Inclusion
We passionately believe in equality, diversity & inclusion and we match that belief with action.
Promoting an environment that welcomes and values diverse backgrounds, thinking, skills and experience – and which enables everyone to thrive, fulfil their potential and produce their best work – is core to the long-term success of DIT. The DIT Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, endorsed by the Executive Committee, sets out what is required from leaders, managers and staff across DIT to help make the department diverse and inclusive, in every aspect of its work and this is one of our core values.
The DIT Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan has been created in collaboration with our employee networks. We recognise their support and contributions are vital to achieving our aims and ensuring we play our part in the Civil Service ambition of being the most inclusive employer in the UK by 2020.
Creating an inclusive and diverse department focuses on supporting the wider ambition of creating a ‘Brilliant Civil Service’ and becoming the UK’s most inclusive employer. In line with this, we are undertaking targeted activities on recruitment, retention and supporting underrepresented groups to achieve their full potential.
As a Disability Confident, Level 3, employer, we positively welcome applications from disabled people. We are committed to making reasonable adjustments wherever possible to ensure that disabled people can participate fully in the recruitment and selection process so please specify these in your application.
We will also consider any reasonable adjustments to enable any applicant with a disability to meet the requirements of the post. These are our legal requirements under the Equality Act 2010.
We offer a Guaranteed Interview Scheme for all disabled applicants who provide evidence of meeting the minimum essential requirements necessary for the post, as set out in the person specification. If you wish to apply under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme please make this clear in your covering email when submitting your application.
