Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Our ambition is that GCS becomes the global leader for equality, diversity and inclusion in our profession.
The GCS Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan
As government communicators, it’s our responsibility to communicate the objectives and policies of the government to the public.
However, we’ll only communicate effectively with everyone when we draw on, and develop, talent from every community, and we’ll only be able to create truly innovative communications when everyone in our teams feels valued and encouraged to share their ideas.
That’s why we’re launching our GCS EDI Action Plan, with clear objectives to build a diverse GCS where everyone feels they belong and can flourish, and a GCS that understands every community it serves, communicating effectively with everyone.
