One million civil service days a year ‘wasted on equality and diversity training’

Research by Conservative Way Forward, a Tory think tank, says this costs the taxpayer an estimated £150 million a year.

It includes 24 days a year spent by the Intellectual Property Office on the “respect at work board game” and almost 1,500 staff days spent by the London Fire Brigade on equality training.

The report reveals that public sector organisations employ 10,000 members of staff to deal with issues focused on equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI).

These roles set the taxpayer back £427 million a year and the average EDI employee receives an annual salary of £42,000, compared to the average nurse’s salary of £34,000, the report claims.

It says British taxpayers face the highest tax burden since the Second World War, but millions of pounds from the public purse are being spent on “damaging and politically motivated activities”.
