Latest figures show that 13% of Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) staff have disabilities which is line with the rates of the UK Economically Active Population. Regular analysis of diversity data is conducted to understand the demographics of our workforce, enable strategic decision making and review the impact of people policies. FCDO secured accreditation as a Disability Confident Leader in July 2021 and has a designated team, alongside staff networks that support workplace reasonable adjustments and Assistive Technology for employees in line with the Equality Act 2010.
