The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology records Sikh or Sikhism, as a religion or belief and not as an ethnicity.
Please refer to Table A3 of the Civil Service Statistics 2024 where statistics on religion or belief by department as at 31 March 2024 are published: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2024. This includes statistics on those recorded as ‘Sikh’.
