We believe in a better world for every child

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are fundamental to achieving our vision of a better world for every child. We are working towards a culture that empowers and enables all our people to deliver their best work for children.

Our latest report

This is our fourth year of voluntarily reporting our disability pay gaps and the fifth year for our ethnicity pay gaps, alongside the required gender pay gap reporting. This is the second year reporting on LGBTQIA+ pay gaps, which enables us to report on our trans and non-binary colleagues; and the second year we have used declared gender rather than gender assigned at birth. This is the first year we have reported on socio economic background pay gaps.

We are voluntarily disclosing and acting on more than is mandated because we believe we play an important role in fulfilling our EDI commitments, and we welcome transparency.

We recognise the reality that marginalised groups continue to face additional barriers to inclusion in the workplace. Closing pay gaps is an important component of our work on Diversity and Inclusion.

We are pleased to report improvements in all our pay gaps this year, as well as reporting a 0.5% pay gap for socio-economic background, in our first year of reporting. However we know there is still more work to be done to continue to decrease our gaps.

Our pay gaps are largely driven by under-representation of global majority, disabled and LGBTQIA+ colleagues in higher-paying roles within our organisation. Achieving greater diversity in our leadership is a key goal for us – we are progressing a series of practical actions to achieve this.
