What Digital Movement UK commits to
This is where we publish the promises we are prepared to be held to. Each one is dated, owned by a named person, reviewed once a year, and carries a change log so you can see what we altered and when.
There is a reason it is written that way. A commitment with no date, no owner and no review is a sentence on a website, and everybody knows it. So the test we set ourselves is simple: could a client, a candidate or a supplier read this and tell whether we kept it? If not, it does not belong here.
We would rather publish one commitment properly than five that mean nothing.
Commitments we have written down
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Ten commitments covering how we hire, how we pay, who we buy from and what we build — including WCAG 2.2 level AA accessibility on every site we produce, pay named in every advert, and contractors paid within 14 days. It also publishes what we do not claim: no accreditation, no training, no workforce diversity figures, and the reason for each.
Environmental impact, work-life balance, social impact
We have not written these, and we are not going to publish a paragraph of intent and call it a commitment. When one of them is real enough to date, own and review, it will appear here in the same shape as the pledge beside it. Until then this card says so, which is more useful to you than a placeholder would be.
What has to be true before we publish one
- ✓It is a thing we do, not a value we hold. "We believe in fairness" cannot be checked. "We name the pay in every advert" can.
- ✓Somebody's name is on it. With a working email address and a phone number, not a department.
- ✓It has a review date, and the page says what happens if that date passes without an update.
- ✓It says what we do not do. Every commitment we publish carries its own list of things we have not earned and will not claim.
- ✓It is a company our size could actually keep. Digital Movement UK has two founders and a small group of contractors. A commitment that needs a department behind it would be a lie on the day we published it.
If you think we have fallen short of any of them, the pledge itself carries the contact and the timescales. You will get a written answer within ten working days.
