Public Sector: Racial Discrimination
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether the Government collects data on complaints of racial discrimination made by white British employees in the public sector.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
We are committed to upholding Britain’s long-standing record of protecting the rights of individuals against unlawful discrimination, and ensuring the Equality Act 2010 protects everyone.
The government does not hold this data centrally. The Courts and Tribunal Service collects data on claims made to Employment Tribunals relating to discrimination in the workplace, including racial discrimination. However, it is not possible to disaggregate this by the specific ethnic group of complainants in the public sector.
