Biodiversity Challenge Funds Project Reporting Refresher Webinar, March 2025
On Tuesday 18 March 2025, a webinar was held to provide all Biodiversity Challenge Funds (BCFs) projects with updates to reporting requirements and newly developed guidance and resources.
In this session we covered financial reporting, high-level technical reporting requirements, standard indicators, risk management, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), Safeguarding, communications, and additional resources.

The webinar was recorded and can be viewed below.
Please note the BCFs adjusted the terminology from ‘Gender Equality and Social Inclusion’ to ‘Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion’ in September 2026 to align terminology with wider Defra programming. While Disability Inclusion was previously considered to be included within Social Inclusion and should already have been a consideration, applicants and projects should be aware of this change.
The above webinar was held prior to the change in terminology and therefore refers to ‘Gender Equality and Social Inclusion’.
