Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much his Department spent on staff training related to diversity and inclusion in 2022.

The FCDO has a Staff Networks Partnership Agreement to ensure our policies and operations are informed by employee insights including equality, diversity and inclusion, alongside quantitative and qualitative HR data managed by HR Directorate. UK Directorates, Overseas Posts and Staff Networks are responsible for organising training programmes according to evidenced training needs, which must be in line with the Civil Service guidance and value. In 2022 the FCDO spent £25,412.96 on centrally organised staff training related to diversity and inclusion.
