Ministry of Justice: Training

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much was spent by the Ministry of Justice on anti-racism training in the financial years (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2025-26.

Answer

The Ministry of Justice can confirm standalone EDI roles are incorporated into HR, with delivery of EDI priorities embedded within broader HR responsibilities across the employee lifecycle. As a result, this information is not held centrally.

The Ministry of Justice also does not centrally hold information on training expenditure at the level of specific themes such as anti-racism. Training available through Civil Service Learning includes equality, diversity and inclusion content within broader programmes, rather than as standalone thematic course.
