Published correction note

This document was updated on 22 Septmenber 2026 to correct an error on pages 11 and 14. The text previously stated that a refreshed Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan would be published in 2027, covering the period to 2030. This has been corrected to 2028, covering the period to 2031, reflecting a decision to extend the current Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan by six months to allow time to conclude its final year of actions.
