The Government Equalities Office (GEO) joined DfE in September 2015. We do not hold data to prior to this when GEO was part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The number of civil servants working in GEO is shown below. Ethnicity and disability status data are based on voluntary declaration of these characteristics. To protect personal information numbers are rounded to the nearest five and suppressed when fewer than five.
