Abstract

This chapter outlines some of the findings and conclusions of a project that aimed to capture and disseminate good practice in the area of equality, diversity and inclusion (diversity) within the British Council and to influence others through a study of the stories that local and international staff tell. The approach was one of co-production of the research by the British Council’s Diversity Unit, the academic research team and the British Council’s Education and Society commissioning team. It used the research method chosen in the previous section to better understand the nature of actual practice within two British Council regions. The two objectives informed the fieldwork undertaken in the regions of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The findings illustrate the difficulties of central delivery of policy implementation within diverse geographical locations and the value of storytelling as a way to reveal actual diversity practice.
