Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Statement

Effective Date: 4th April 2025
Last Updated: 4th April 2025

Our Core Commitment

At DPA Cloud Services Ltd, we are committed to creating and maintaining a working environment — and a digital ecosystem — that is inclusive, equitable, and respectful for all. We believe that diversity is not just an ethical imperative, but a powerful source of creativity, innovation, and resilience.

Whether interacting with our systems, working with our team, or partnering with our business, you should always feel seen, respected, and empowered.

What Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Means to Us

✅ Equality

We treat all individuals fairly and with dignity, ensuring equal opportunities regardless of background, identity, or circumstance. We oppose all forms of discrimination, harassment, and exclusion.

✅ Diversity

We value the richness of varied experiences, perspectives, and identities. We believe that a diverse community is a stronger community — capable of solving more complex problems and building more thoughtful solutions.

✅ Inclusion

We actively foster an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to contribute meaningfully. Inclusion isn’t just permission to participate — it’s a genuine invitation to belong.

Our Scope of Inclusion

We are committed to ensuring equal treatment and protection against discrimination on the grounds of:

  • Race, ethnicity, or national origin
  • Gender or gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Religion or belief (or lack thereof)
  • Age or generation
  • Disability, neurodivergence, or health condition
  • Socio-economic background
  • Marital or parental status
  • Any combination of the above

This applies across all areas of operation — including (but not limited to): employment, client relations, supplier partnerships, product design, content creation, and service delivery.

Inclusive By Design

We strive to embed inclusivity in the foundations of our infrastructure and services:

  • 🌐 Accessibility considerations for all user interfaces (see our Accessibility Statement)
  • 🧠 Respect for neurodivergent-friendly workflows and communication
  • 🗣️ Inclusive language guidelines for documentation and client communications
  • 🤝 Openness to feedback from users, clients, and peers of all backgrounds

As a company that builds digital tools and virtual spaces, we understand our design choices shape real-world experiences. We're committed to ensuring those experiences are welcoming and empowering.

Recruitment, Workplace & Culture (Now & Future)

While we are currently a small operation, our policies are scalable by intent. As we grow:

  • We will hire based on skills, values, and potential, not background
  • We will provide reasonable adjustments during application and onboarding
  • We will foster a psychologically safe working culture with space for open dialogue
  • We will support internal growth and mentoring, especially for underrepresented voices in tech
  • We will ensure our contractors, partners, and collaborators share our inclusivity principles

Accountability & Continuous Improvement

We recognise that EDI is not a checkbox, but a continual process of listening, learning, and evolving. We will:

  • 📅 Review this statement annually, or after any relevant legal or operational change
  • 🧾 Embed EDI principles into future policy, HR, and supplier documentation
  • 🔍 Regularly evaluate the inclusiveness of our systems and content
  • 🤝 Welcome feedback from anyone impacted by our work or services

Contact & Feedback

If you have experienced or observed anything that contradicts the values outlined here — or would like to contribute ideas to help us improve — we want to hear from you.

❤️ Final Word

At DPA Cloud Services Ltd, we build technology to elevate, connect, and protect. Those goals mean little if we don't extend the same care to the people who use, support, or build with us.

Our future is diverse. Our company will be too.
