  • We are currently considering the best way to approach Ethnicity Pay Gap reporting in the Civil Service.
  • Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting is voluntary.
  • In line with Gender Pay Gap Reporting, the Civil Service is looking to develop a consistent methodology to be used in departments to produce the data.
  • The outcomes of this development work will inform whether the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is able to publish a report for 2023/2024.
  • More generally the Civil Service is undertaking extensive work both centrally and within DBT to promote diversity across its workplaces, including ethnicity.
