Government Departments: Equality

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 13 May 2025UIN 41643

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to publish guidance on diversity networks.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Government Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) networks are internal, volunteer staff networks and so any guidance would not routinely be published. The Civil Service Code, which is published and available here, sets out the standards of behaviour expected of all civil servants.
