About the TTC

Watch this short video. Or this is an executive pack about the TTC. We also have a short video about 'What the TTC worked on during 2020'.

This is the list of TTC Signatories (over 700 organisations).

Cost? There is no cost to be a Signatory. TTC is a not for profit organisation supported by the UK Government’s Digital Strategy.

What is the commitment? People, Plan, Practice and Data

People: Have a Senior Signatory with responsibility for the Charter commitments, and a named Principal, Data and PR contact.

Plan: Employers of tech
Have a plan to improve inclusion; including adopting inclusive recruitment and promotion processes and practices to support the development and retention of a diverse workforce (you'll find loads of examples of what other organisations are doing in our Open Playbook to help with this); OR

Consultants, Recruiters and other partners
Developing a plan to work with employers/clients and underrepresented groups to improve their inclusion and diversity in tech; supporting them to adopt inclusive recruitment and promotion processes and practices.

Practice: Collaborate with other Signatory organisations and the TTC to share what has worked and what has not worked for your company.

Data: Every September, contribute employment diversity data (anonymised and aggregated) for publication in our annual Diversity in Tech report. Read more about this mandatory reporting requirement on our Data Collection page.
