Written question asked by Ruth Jones (Labour) on Wednesday, 6 January 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 11 January 2021. It was answered by Julia Lopez (Conservative) on Friday, 15 January 2021 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.


Equality: Training

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much the Government has spent on unconscious bias training in each of the last 10 years.

Answer

There is no central budget for unconscious bias training specifically. Instead, departments are able to access a blend of free at point of access online learning, and learning purchased through current contracts. The information requested on spend is therefore not held centrally.


Further to the statement on 15 December, standalone Unconscious Bias training has been removed from Civil Service learning platforms.
