At Freeborne, we believe the best ideas come from teams where everyone feels welcome, respected, and able to bring their full selves to work. Inclusion isn’t just a policy here - it’s how we work together every day.

We’re committed to making sure opportunities are open to everyone. That means keeping an eye on diversity in hiring and leadership, investing in mentoring and training, and challenging bias wherever it shows up. Everyone in our team, from new joiners to senior leaders takes part in training around inclusivity, wellbeing, and safeguarding, because creating a fair workplace is everyone’s responsibility.

We know life doesn’t stop when work starts. That’s why we’ve put our Right to Disconnect front and centre: when the workday ends, you’re free to switch off and focus on your own time. No one is expected to be “always available”, and we encourage everyone to set healthy boundaries so work supports life, not the other way around.

We don’t tolerate harassment, bullying, or discrimination - ever. Everyone knows how to raise concerns safely and confidentially, and we’ve got dedicated safeguarding reps in place to make sure issues are handled quickly and fairly. Just as importantly, we want our teams to feel comfortable speaking up, sharing ideas, and supporting each other without fear.

For us, diversity isn’t just the right thing to do - it’s essential to our creativity. Different voices and perspectives spark fresh ideas, challenge assumptions, and help us tell stories that are richer, more authentic, and more representative of the world we live in. By making space for everyone, we make our work stronger.

Thriving at work also means growing in your career. At Freeborne, development is for everyone, not just a select few. We create space to learn, stretch, and explore new paths, supported by feedback, mentoring, and training. When our people grow, we all grow.

Not everyone works best on the same schedule, and we think that’s a strength. Whether it’s flexible hours, working from home, job sharing, or taking a sabbatical, we try to shape work around people’s lives wherever possible. If it works for you and it works for us, we’ll find a way to make it happen.

Inclusion isn’t a box to tick, it’s something we build on all the time. We listen to feedback, track our progress, and work with external partners to keep learning and bringing in new perspectives.

For us, inclusion is simple: it’s about making Freeborne a place where people can do great work and feel good about it, while creating content that truly reflects the diverse world around us.
