The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
We are fully committed to ensuring we provide an opportunity for all to realise their potential and that we have an organisation that represents the diversity of the qualifications community we regulate and the Midlands community where we are based. By fostering this diversity in Ofqual, we can achieve the ambitious and challenging objectives that we have set for ourselves.
We look forward to being a champion for continued investment in our people. We will focus our effort initially in 2 main areas: creating opportunities to increase diverse representation at senior levels, and creating a culture where our people feel comfortable in declaring disability so that we can readily provide support.
Our key aim will be to embed diversity related management information into our decision-making, allocate specific investment to support our activities and provide transparent information on an annual basis for the Board to consider.
We will work with our reverse mentors to understand the impact of our actions and seek further ways to deliver improvements in those areas highlighted within our D&I strategy. Overall, we will strive to become a more inclusive and diverse organisation that delivers on its plans and priorities.
