Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he is planning to undertake equality impact assessments of any proposed staffing restructure in his Department.
The FCDO is committed to putting inclusion, belonging, diversity and respect at its heart, and is working towards its aspiration to be the most inclusive government department. Consistent with this and the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/149), the FCDO conducts Equality Impact Analysis for all key decisions.
