(asked on 20th September 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, on how many occasions the provision of mandatory training for her Departmental staff regarding their obligations under the Equality Act 2010 has been cited by her Department as a defence against Section 109 proceedings since the commencement of that Act.
This question was answered on 27th September 2022
We have reviewed DCMS cases in the last five years and none have used the defence available in s.109 and therefore cited mandatory training.
DCMS does not hold information regarding cases beyond 5 years due to our data retention policies linked to GDPR.
