Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Policy
Theodora Monye (trading as Theodora AI Advisory)
Version 1.0 | March 2026
1. Our Commitment
Theodora Monye (trading as Theodora AI Advisory) is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion — not only as legal obligations, but as core values that underpin the integrity of our advisory work and the culture we seek to promote in the organisations we advise. We believe that diverse perspectives produce better governance outcomes, that AI systems must be developed and deployed with fairness and equity at their core, and that this commitment must be evidenced in how we conduct our own practice — not only in what we advise.
2. Scope
This policy applies to how we provide services to clients, how we engage subcontractors and professional associates, how we conduct ourselves in professional relationships, and the content of our advisory work — ensuring our AI governance frameworks, training programmes, and toolkit materials actively address equality and fairness considerations.
3. Protected Characteristics
We will not discriminate directly or indirectly on the basis of any of the nine protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010: Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage and civil partnership, Pregnancy and maternity, Race, Religion or belief, Sex, Sexual orientation.
4. Our Practice
Advisory services are available to all clients regardless of the protected characteristics of their leadership, workforce, or ownership. Where we engage subcontractors or professional associates, selection is based solely on relevant skills, experience, and qualifications. Our AI governance advisory work explicitly incorporates equality and fairness considerations, including bias testing across all nine Equality Act protected characteristics as a standard element of our AI Governance Deployment Checklist.
5. Accessibility
Where a client, participant, or other stakeholder requires adjustments to access our services or training programmes due to disability or other relevant characteristics, we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate those adjustments. Please contact us at theo@theodoramonye.com to discuss requirements.
6. Reporting Concerns
Any person who believes they have been treated in a manner inconsistent with this policy is encouraged to raise the matter directly by contacting theo@theodoramonye.com. All concerns raised will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality.
7. Review
This policy is reviewed annually. Next review due March 2027.
