My Department, in line with the rest of the Civil Service, actively supports diversity and inclusion in the workplace. In addition to arranging to training on diversity and inclusion related topics, my Department also supports staff attendance at relevant conferences and staff participation in mentoring programmes that promote diversity and inclusion. Diversity and inclusion considerations are also incorporated into other training and development opportunities available to staff including the Department’s Leadership Development Programme for Senior Management, and the suite of training courses available to all staff through OneLearning.
