Establishing a framework for consultancy on Disability Inclusion

The British Council is a UK international organisation that supports peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust in the Arts, Education and English between people in the UK and countries worldwide. Our people and our partners experience a culture that promotes excellence, respect, inclusion and diversity. Our work is based on building meaningful, enduring and respectful relationships across different cultures. This is reflected in placing equality, diversity and inclusion at the core of our work. The British Council, Cultural Engagement Department works across these 4 main areas of work: Arts: We deliver projects and programmes that find new ways of connecting with and understanding each other through the arts, to develop stronger creative sectors around the world that are better connected with the UK. This includes working in different arts forms such as film, theatre and dance and literature as well as supporting creative economies working with cultural institutions to address development and social challenges. Education: We work with educational institutions and professionals at school level, in vocational education and higher education to open up new opportunities for collaboration and improving systems and learning. Inclusive Communities: We work on non-formal education to support young people to develop life-skills including citizenship, media literacy and leadership. English and School Education: We contribute to raising the quality of education in schools and improving standards of English language and life skills worldwide.
