Written question asked by Baroness Cash (Conservative) on Monday, 13 July 2026, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 27 July 2026. It was answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) on Monday, 27 July 2026 on behalf of the Department for Education.


Schools: Equality

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many diversity, equity and inclusion roles there are in state-funded schools; and what is the cost of those roles.

Answer

The department does not collect data on the number of diversity, equity and inclusion roles in state-funded schools, or the costs associated with such role. While the school workforce census collects data on broad staff categories, it does not capture information on specific functions or responsibilities undertaken by individual employees.
