BAME representation in the Public Sector

Foreword
I am privileged to serve one of the most diverse communities in
Britain - my constituency in Leicester East has a rich cultural and
ethnic demographic. As a first generation immigrant myself, I have
watched the great strides made forward in terms of the treatment
of ethnic minorities in the UK with pride. However, the extent to
which my constituents – almost two thirds of whom identify as non-
white – feel represented in public life is an issue of constant concern
for me.
As the battle against visible racism is increasingly fought from many
sides in the UK, a multitude of other issues regarding ethnicity have
come to the fore.
That is why this research and the wider work that Elevation
Networks carries out is of overwhelming importance. Diversity in any sector or field is fundamental –
first and foremost in terms of equality and representation, but also because neglecting to capitalise
on the diversity of talent is a move towards failure.
The public sector is now lagging behind the private sector in terms of diversity, and this isn’t
acceptable. Public services, set up to serve the needs of the nation and staffed with individuals paid
with taxpayer’s money, must be representative of the public, and indeed the specific communities
they serve.
This research shines a necessary spotlight on those departments, bodies and agencies that fail to
represent the UK population – either in terms of general organisational make up, or at senior level.
Yet this publication does not criticise for the sake of critique alone; it performs a hugely important role
in highlighting the shocking lack of diversity at senior levels in the public sector, while also paying
tribute to the advancements that have been made.
We should certainly celebrate the progress that has been made in recent years – the public sector is
indeed more diverse than ever. But we must also take action to the current situation, and to recognise
that to achieve our full potential as a nation we must involve the brilliance of the whole nation – in all
of its rich diversity of colour, creed, and religion - in the future we wish to build.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report examines the current representation level of BAME leaders within the public sector. Over
500 public sector organisations were surveyed, including over 2,600 department heads, executive and
non-executive boards, departmental ministers, trustees and high-profile committee members.
Methodology
Elevation Networks used a subjective approach examining the ethnic background of names and visual
profiles of senior department heads, boards and other high-profile members as listed on each
organisation’s official website. Elevation Networks examined the leadership boards of 489
government organisations, incorporating 24 ministerial departments, 22 non-ministerial
departments, 11 public corporations, 372 agencies and public bodies and 75 high profile groups.
Key Findings
Elevation Networks identified 2,623 senior public sector leaders, comprised of directors, board
members, chairs, commissioners and committee members. Of the senior leaders identified just 91
(3.5%) were from non-white ethnic minority backgrounds.
Of the 24 ministerial departments surveyed 15 (62.5%) did not have any visible BAME ministers
or executives. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence and the
Department of Health were some of the more high profile ministerial departments not to have
any visible BAME representation at leadership or ministerial level.
Of the 22 non-ministerial departments just 4 (18%) had any visible BAME representation. Non-
ministerial departments with no visible BAME representation at executive level included the
Crown Prosecution Service, HMRC and UK Trade and Investment.
From a total of 372 agencies and public bodies 198 (53.2%) had no visible BAME representation
at leadership level. High profile agencies which did not feature any BAME members in senior
positions included the government’s Equalities Office, the Met Office and the Probation Service.
From the high profile groups surveyed we estimate that around 49 did not have any BAME staff
within their strategic leadership and executive teams, including Border Force and HM Passport
Office and the Government’s Planning Inspectors.
The UK Civil Service publishes diversity data for some 201 government agencies and public bodies.
A total of 14 (6.9%) agencies recorded none, or fewer than 5 ethnic minority staff; although low
disclosure rates may have obfuscated the actual figures in some organisations.
The disparity between white and minority ethnic Civil Servants in government agencies was most
apparent at senior civil service grades, whilst a greater proportion of ethnic minority staff were
employed at Executive Offices (EO) and Administrative Officer (AO) grades. Ethnic minority groups
accounted for 11% of administrative officers and assistants and 12% of executive officers. The
diversity gap increases in senior leadership roles, with 9% ethnic minority representation at Senior
Executive officer (SEO) and 7.89% at grades 6 and 7.
5. 5
There are 11 public corporations in the UK which fall under the umbrella of the public sector, 6 of
which had no visible BAME leadership. The BBC World service featured the highest visible BAME
representation at leadership level. In comparison, the British Broadcasting Corporation had just
1 ethnic minority representative on the executive board.
Ethnic diversity in parliament increased significantly following the general election of 2015, with
40 elected BAME members, an increase of 13 (32.5%) since the previous general election in 2010.
Despite this increase in diversity ethnic minority representation in parliament is
disproportionately lower than the diversity makeup of the population as a whole.1
Policy Implications and Recommendations
The clear lack of ethnic minority representation in public life and in particular the lack of BAME leaders
in the public sector has highlighted a diversity problem on a national scale. If the public sector is to
truly reflect the needs of the communities in which it serves then urgent action is needed to ensure
that BAME talent is represented at each level of the profession.
Addressing the Public Sector BAME Leadership Challenge
There is a clear disparity between the number of BAME staff employed in lower public sector
administrative and officer roles compared to those employed within the senior civil service and it may
take many decades before the senior civil service is representative of the ethnic diversity of the
population as a whole. Introducing at least one BAME candidate as part of the recruitment process
will go some way to resolving the lack of ethnic minority leaders in the senior civil service.
Supporting, mentoring and nurturing BAME talent
Supporting BAME public sector leaders through mentoring initiatives could potentially benefit those
from ethnic groups who are looking to progress to more senior positions. The use of informal and
formal ethnic minority mentoring groups in the Civil Service has increased in recent years. Many BAME
civil servants feel that there should be greater visibility from senior BAME leaders within the top-200
as a means to increase diversity awareness2
.
Diversity Outreach
Targeted recruitment and outreach activities may redress the current imbalance in public sector BAME
representation, not least by increasing the degree of diversity in the talent pipeline and creating a
larger pool of future BAME leaders for the longer term. Such initiatives could be adopted across all of
the public sector, especially for the organisations identified as having no BAME leaders and limited
representation at other levels of seniority.
Increasing Entry-Level Opportunities
Entry level opportunities for BAME candidates considering working in the public sector should be seen
as a priority for all public sector organisations. Through our discussions with BAME leaders developing
clear and visible pathways for BAME candidates should receive a greater priority. Talent programmes
which actively encourage BAME candidates from a variety of different backgrounds have the potential
to increase BAME representation from groups who may not have previously considered a career in
the public sector.

Introduction
It has now been five years since the Equality Act 2010 became law. Aimed at reducing socio-economic
inequalities the act also harmonised and replaced existing antidiscrimination laws including the now
repealed Sex Discrimination Act, the Race Relations Act and Disability Discrimination Act.
Diversity in the public sector has gained significant prominence since the Equality Act became law in
2010. Public sector organisations are not only obliged to monitor and report on their staff diversity
profile, but also to promote initiatives and practices which foster a more cohesive and diverse
workforce. All public sector departments, agencies, public bodies and corporations have subsequently
implemented various equality and diversity policies and initiatives in order to fulfil their legal
obligations and implement best practice.
Under the provisions of the Equality Act section 149 ‘Public Sector Equality Duty’ public sector
organisations are legally obligated to:
- Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- Advance equality of opportunity
- Foster good relations between different groups of persons
Under this provision, public sector bodies must show due regard to:
- Removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by persons who share protected
characteristics
- Taking steps to meet the needs of persons who share a relevant protected characteristic
- Encouraging persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in public
life or in any other activity in which participation by such persons is disproportionately low3
.
The public sector equality duty provides the basis on which to create a more inclusive public sector
which is representative of the diverse of the communities in which it serves. The opportunity to draw
upon a more diverse range of talent should also foster the creation of better informed policy
development and appropriate decision-making for the diverse multicultural society of the twenty-first
century4
.
At the time of the last Census in 2011; 12.9% of the UK population identified themselves as having a
non-white background.5
Whilst initiatives which promote ethnic minority diversity and inclusion are
steadily beginning to have an impact on increasing ethnic minority representation across the public
sector, many organisations and public bodies are still under representative of the diversity of the UK
population as a whole. This is particularly true of many senior positions in public life, which continue
to be primarily ‘white-dominated’.
In 2014 executive recruitment specialist Green
Park launched a comprehensive review of leadership diversity in the public sector. The report found
that as few as 3.5% of top-20 level civil servants in ministerial departments and 4.5% in non-ministerial

departments were from non-white backgrounds. This compared to 8.3% in FTSE 100 companies and
12.8% of the working population in 2011 as a whole.6
Many high profile public sector organisations now publish information on their staff diversity profiles
in order to increase transparency, promote diversity and inclusion, and to measure the effectiveness
of their diversity strategies.
The Launch of New View 50
In April 2016 Elevation Networks launched New View 50. It is part of our partnership with the Civil
Service Fast Stream and will showcase the 50 most influential BAME leaders within the Public Sector.
The initiative is being driven by the objective of showcasing leaders within the broad range of public
sector career paths.
The New View List will support the Civil Service and other public sector employers’ objective of
attracting top talent from a broader base of applicants. We will be showcasing leaders from the Civil
Service, education, transport, and health sector. We will also be looking at leaders within non-
governmental institutions including the Financial Conduct Authority, National Audit office, Bank of
England, Local Government Authority and other institutions. Elected officials will also be part of the
shortlist that has been finalised by an expert judging panel.
Background to Public Sector Employment
As of September 2015 a total of 5.349 million people were employed in the UK public sector, of which
2.911 million are employed in central government departments, 2.257 million are employed in local
government, and 181,000 are employed in public corporations.
The NHS is the UK’s largest public sector employer by public sector industry with 1.591 million (29.7%)
of the total headcount, followed by the education sector with 1.508 (28.2%). Some 1.022 million
people (19.1%) are employed in public administration, whilst the remaining 0.528 million are classified
as ‘other public sector’ workers.
Of the core UK Civil Service departments the Department of Works and Pensions (DwP) is the largest
employer. As of March 2015, 91,010 people worked for the DwP, accounting for 29.6% of the total
headcount, followed by the Ministry of Justice with 68,000 and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs
(HMRC) with 68,0307
.
Methodology and Approach
Elevation Networks conducted a survey of over 500 ministerial and non-ministerial departments,
agencies and public bodies, high profile groups and public corporations and other significant public
sector organisations. We examined the ethnic background of over 2,600 department heads, executive
and non-executive boards, departmental ministers, trustees and high-profile committee members.

Elevation Networks used a subjective approach examining the ethnic background of names and visual
profiles of senior department heads, boards and other high-profile members as listed on each
organisation’s official website. Elevation Networks examined the leadership boards of 489
government organisations, incorporating 24 ministerial departments, 22 non-ministerial
departments, 11 public corporations, 372 agencies and public bodies and 75 high profile groups. A
total of 2,623 senior leaders were profiled.
We combined visual and name-based profiling in order to identify leaders with protected ethnic
minority characteristics. The use of visual profiling overcame the limitations of identifying people
from ethnic minority backgrounds with names of an English heritage. Of the organisations surveyed
142 did not provide visual profiles of their senior management and leadership teams. Where
appropriate, we used professional online networks and other sources to cross-reference both name
and visual profiles. We compared BAME representation against the size of the executive boards as
whole to calculate proportion of ethnic minority senior leadership representation in each
organisation.
Secondly, we compared published diversity data from across all Civil Service grades for ministerial and
non-ministerial departments and for other public sector bodies where this information has been made
available. This provided a broader picture of overall diversity in the sector by government
department/public sector organisation and grade seniority.

BAME Representation in Public Sector Leadership
Elevation Networks identified 2,623 senior public sector leaders, comprised of directors, board
members, chairs, commissioners and committee members. Of the senior leaders identified just 91
(3.5%) were from non-white ethnic minority backgrounds.
Ministerial Departments
In terms of overall representation, the Department for Work and Pensions was the most
representative ministerial department with 21.4% BAME members at executive or ministerial level.
This was followed by UK Export Finance and the Department for Education, both of which had over
10% representation.

Of the total 24 ministerial departments only 9 (37.5%) made specific reference to equality and
diversity on their website. As few as 7 ministerial departments (29.2%) published workforce diversity
statistics.
UK Export Finance had the highest proportion of ethnic minority workers as a percentage of the total
headcount (26% BAME in 2013)9
. This was followed by the Department for Education (17.2% BAME
in 2015)10
and Department of Health (17% in 2016)11
. There was however a significant disparity
between diversity at different professional civil service grades. Both the Cabinet Office and DEFRA12
recorded 0% BAME in senior civil service positions13
, whilst at the Department of Health 39% of
administrative staff were from BAME backgrounds compared to just 4% of senior civil servants.
More encouragingly the total workforce of UK Export Finance, Department of Health and Department
for Education were representative of the population, with all three exceeding the 2011 ONS minority

Ten (45.45%) non-ministerial departments made reference to equality and diversity policies on their
website whilst just 3 (13.63%) published diversity statistics. Ethnicity between civil service grades was
more dispersed among the three non-ministerial departments. However, there was still little
representation in senior civil servant posts, with BAME staff accounting for just 9% out of a total 15
senior civil servants at the Land Registry14

Agencies and Public Bodies
The government’s 372 agencies and public bodies incorporate many substantial high-profile public
sector organisations. Notable bodies include NHS England, Ofcom, DVLA and Highways England; the
largest of which NHS England employs some 1.3 million public sector workers, putting it among the
world’s top-5 largest employers.15
By contrast, 41 of the government’s agencies we identified
comprise of just one appointed leader, commissioner or adjudicator and ancillary staff. As a
consequence, many public bodies and agencies recorded a higher proportion of BAME representation
compared to the size of the board as a whole. The Service Complaints Ombudsman and The
Adjudicator were two such examples of this.

The UK Civil Service publishes diversity data for some 201 government agencies and public bodies. A
total of 14 (6.9%) agencies recorded none, or fewer than 5 ethnic minority staff; although low
disclosure rates may have obfuscated the actual figures in some organisations.
By comparison, 30 agencies and public bodies recorded staff diversity figures equal to or higher than
the diversity of the UK population recorded at the time of the last census in 2011 as a proportion of
the total headcount.
The Home Office agencies recorded the highest level of diversity in terms of organisational size. Out
of a total 29,230 employees in 2015, 6,300 (21.55%) were from ethnic backgrounds. The Department
Health and its agencies, with 9,050 employees recorded 1,640 (18.12%) staff from BAME backgrounds.
In comparison, the Ministry of Defence and its agencies employed a total 53,100 staff, of which 1,720
(3.24%) were from ethnic backgrounds17

Diversity in Government Agencies by Seniority
Civil Service data shows that there around 250 BAME leaders in the senior civil service (equivalent to
7.6% of senior civil servants whose diversity is known/declared). This compared to 3,180 from white
backgrounds.
The disparity between white and minority ethnic Civil Servants in government agencies was most
apparent at senior civil service grades, whilst a greater proportion of ethnic minority staff were
employed at Executive Offices (EO) and Administrative Officer (AO) grades. Ethnic minority groups
accounted for 11% of administrative officers and assistants and 12% of executive officers. The
diversity gap increases in senior leadership roles, with 9% ethnic minority representation at Senior
Executive officer (SEO) and 7.89% at grades 6 and 7.
Figure 2 Office for National Statistics (2015c) Annual Civil Service Employment Survey 2015
Public Health England employed the highest number of BAME senior civil servants of any public sector
agency. Around 110 were employed at senior grade (2.2% of those whose ethnicity was declared),
with around 150 ethnic minority staff employed at Grades 6 and 7. Of the 117 agencies we examined
78 (66.67%) had no ethnic minority representation at senior civil service level. These included
Companies House, DVLA and Health & Safety Executive, among other high profile agencies.

Few of the government’s 74 high profile groups published information about their executive and
management structures. Only 29 such organisations published diversity information, whilst only 3 had
any visible BAME representation at leadership level. These included the Government Chemist, School
Commissioners Group and Bona Vacantia (part of the Government Legal Department).

From the high profile groups surveyed we estimate that around 49 did not have any BAME staff within
their strategic leadership and executive teams, including Border Force and HM Passport Office and
the Government’s Planning Inspectors.

Public Corporations
There are 11 public corporations in the UK which fall under the umbrella of the public sector. These
include public service broadcasters BBC, BBC World Service and Channel 4 and the Civil Aviation
Authority. The BBC World service featured the highest visible BAME representation at leadership
level. This is perhaps unsurprising given the BBC World Service’s international remit and multilingual
output. In comparison, the British Broadcasting Corporation had just 1 ethnic minority representative
on the executive board.

Diversity in the Public Services
Many high profile public sector organisations also publish information on their staff diversity profiles
in order to increase transparency, promote diversity and inclusion, and to measure the effectiveness
of their diversity strategies.
Police
Ethnic minority police officers equated to 5.5% of all police officer ranks in 2015. As of March
2015, there were 6.979 BAME police officers represented across 43 police forces. The most
diverse force, the Metropolitan Police had 11.7% of ethnic minority police officers, this was
followed by the West Midlands constabulary (8.6%) and Leicestershire (7.2%). Fewer ethnic
minority officers were employed within the senior ranks; BAME officers represented just 3.4%
of chief inspectors, compared to 6.0% at constable ranks. The proportion of ethnic minority
officers has been increasing year-on-year, up from 3.6% in 2006 to 5.5% currently.19
Judiciary
The 2015 diversity figures published by the Judicial Office in England and Wales show that as
of 1st
April 2015 around 6% of the UK judiciary were from BAME groups. However, there is
considerable variation of diversity between different grades with fewer BAME members
represented within the senior judiciary. Deputy district judges had the highest level of
diversity with 11% BME; this compared to 3% of high court judges where ethnic background
is known. Overall the number of BAME judges has remained at around 7% in recent years.20
Teachers
In 2013/14 around 6.0% of teachers from primary maintained schools and 9.9% of secondary
school teachers were from BAME backgrounds. Fewer BAME staff were employed in senior
positions, with just 3.0% of primary head teachers and 3.6% of secondary head teachers
declaring their ethnicity as black, Asian or minority ethnic.21
Armed Forces
The armed forces figures for April 2014 show that UK regular forces comprised 7.1% BAME
personnel, following a steady upward trend over recent years. However, diversity differs
considerably by military rank and service. Officer ranks comprised of just 2.4% BAME
personnel, whilst the Army employed 10.3% BAME personnel, compared to the RAF with just
2.1% BAME. Since 2009 members of the Ghurka personnel have had the opportunity to
transfer into the UK Army, which has had the effect of increasing the proportion of BAME
Army personnel.22

NHS
Most recent figures from the National Health Service census show that around 41% of doctors
working in NHS hospitals and general practice were from BAME backgrounds (as at September
2010). For the highest grade of ‘consultant’ 31% were from BAME backgrounds. In nursing
and midwifery 20% of qualified nurses, health visitors and midwives were from BAME
backgrounds. Similarly, ethnic minorities were less represented within senior nursing
positions, with 6% of nurse consultants and 7% of ward matrons identified as minority
ethnic.23
Fire and Rescue Service
The fire and rescue service in England has seen the proportion of firefighters declaring a
minority ethnic background increase in recent years. In March 2005 2.5% of retained and
whole-time firefighters were from BAME backgrounds. This had increased to 4.4% in March
2015. In total 1,844 BAME personnel are employed by the fire and rescue service (of those
who declared their ethnicity), of which 489 were non-uniformed staff and 1,356 were frontline
staff.24
Representation in Public Life
BAME representation within public life has been steadily increasing in recent decades. Following a gap
of over 40 years the first significant ethnic minority inroads into political life came in 1987 with the
election of Diane Abbott (for Hackney North and Stoke Newington), Keith Vaz (Leicester East) Paul
Boeteng (Brent South) and Bernie Grant (Tottenham), thus becoming the first BAME MPs to sit in the
House of Commons since 194525
.
Diversity in Parliament
Ethnic diversity in parliament increased significantly following the general election of 2015, with 40
elected BAME members, an increase of 13 (32.5%) since the previous general election in 2010. Despite
this increase in diversity ethnic minority representation in parliament is disproportionately lower than
the diversity makeup of the population as a whole.26
Just two people from ethnic minority groups have been elected to the Scottish parliament out of a
total of 129 MSPs elected in 2011. Similarly, the Welsh Assembly has just 2 elected BAME members,
elected in 2007 and 2011 respectively27

Police and Crime Commissioners
None of the 45 Police and Crime Commissioners in elected in England and Wales in November 2012
are from an ethnic minority background, despite 20 BAME candidates being shortlisted for election.
The Home Affairs Committee cited higher entry barriers for the electoral process in comparison to
parliamentary elections which may well have impacted on the complete lack of representation from
ethnic groups.28
Policy Implications & Recommendations
The clear lack of ethnic minority representation in public life and in particular the lack of BAME leaders
in the public sector has highlighted a diversity problem on a national scale. If the public sector is to
truly reflect the needs of the communities in which it serves then urgent action is needed to ensure
that BAME talent is represented at each level of the profession.
Addressing the Public Sector BAME Leadership Challenge
There is a clear disparity between the number of BAME staff employed in lower public sector
administrative and officer roles compared to those employed within the senior civil service and it may
take many decades before the senior civil service is representative of the ethnic diversity of the
population as a whole.
Several companies within the private sector have implemented the ‘Rooney Rule’ in order to interview
at least one person from ethnic minority groups in the talent pool for senior positions. Social media
platforms Facebook and Pinterest are purportedly implementing the Rooney Rule as part of their
recruitment processes.29
The Rooney Rule, which originates from America’s National Football League
was introduced in 2003 to increase the number of ethnic minorities progressing to senior leadership
level in the national football league. There have also been calls to adopt the practice in the English
football league to increase the number of black managers in the sector. Currently there are only 6
BAME managers out of 72 league clubs30
.
Introducing at least one BAME candidate as part of the recruitment process will go some way to
resolving the lack of ethnic minority leaders in the senior civil service. Evidence suggests that
increasing the representation of BAME staff in senior positions is likely to have a positive influence
impact on organisational performance and service delivery. The NHS ‘Race for Health’ campaign
highlighted the need to recruit more senior BAME nurses in order to achieve improved health
outcomes for specific ethnic minority groups31
.
However there are still significant barriers which are preventing ethnic minorities from progressing to
the senior civil service. Many ethnic minority civil servants still feel that progression is based on
whether they ‘fit the mould’ and there is a consensus that the Civil Service as a whole is not committed

to valuing diversity32
. Introducing mandatory BAME candidates could help to redress this perception
of the senior civil service and provide new opportunities for BAME candidates to progress.
Supporting, mentoring and nurturing BAME talent
Supporting BAME public sector leaders through mentoring initiatives could potentially benefit those
from ethnic groups who are looking to progress to more senior positions. The use of informal and
formal ethnic minority mentoring groups in the Civil Service has increased in recent years. The
Minority Ethnic Talent Association (META) formed in 2007 from BAME staff from several Civil Service
departments to establish a growing talent mentoring programme which has so far supported many
BAME employees through mentorships with senior civil servants to help them develop senior
leadership and strategic competencies.
Many BAME civil servants feel that there should be greater visibility from senior BAME leaders within
the top-200 as a means to increase diversity awareness including the use of mentoring masterclasses
to increase their understanding of senior roles33
.
In January 2016 the government announced plans to introduce a new mentoring programme run by
the Careers and Enterprise Company with the aim of connecting high-flying mentors with ‘struggling
teens’ to improve their life chances. The scheme is anticipated to support 25,000 young people who
are at risk of dropping out of post-16 education or underachieving at GCSE level34
. The campaign
intends to promote mentors from the public sector and civil service and whilst not intentionally aimed
at BAME leaders there is clearly a potential to raise the profile and visibility of senior BAME leaders
through mentoring with disadvantaged groups.
Diversity Outreach
The Civil Service in particular has been at the forefront of developing diversity and BAME talent
attraction initiatives. Through partnerships with private and third sector providers the Civil Service
has increased BAME awareness of its leadership development programme the ‘Fast Stream’ by 5 per
within less than 12 months35
. The Civil Service has committed to increasing the number of applicants
from disadvantaged backgrounds to many of its entry level schemes, including apprenticeships,
internships and graduate leadership positions.
The Civil Service Diversity Outreach strategy has introduced a number of alternative providers to
develop targeted initiatives designed at attract more young BAME people to join the Civil Service
profession. Targeted initiatives include various insight and awareness events, skills development
sessions, mentoring and promoting existing BAME role models from the public sector. In 2014 the
proportion of applications for the Civil Service Fast Stream received from BAME groups increased from

18 per cent in 2013 to 19.4 per cent, whilst the proportion of successful BAME applicants from ethnic
minority groups increased from 13.6 to 14.2 per cent.36
Targeted recruitment and outreach activities may redress the current imbalance in public sector BAME
representation, not least by increasing the degree of diversity in the talent pipeline and creating a
larger pool of future BAME leaders for the longer term. Such initiatives could be adopted across all of
the public sector, especially for the organisations identified as having no BAME leaders and limited
representation at other levels of seniority. Diversity initiatives should be part of longer-term reforms
to ensure that the public sector can keep pace with not only the current demographic changes in
population but also the future increases in minority ethnic population groups which are predicted in
the future.
Increasing Entry-Level Opportunities
Entry level opportunities for BAME candidates considering working in the public sector should be seen
as a priority for all public sector organisations. Through our discussions with BAME leaders developing
clear and visible pathways for BAME candidates should receive a greater priority. Talent programmes
which actively encourage BAME candidates from a variety of different backgrounds have the potential
to increase BAME representation from groups who may not have previously considered a career in
the public sector.
Civil Service Resourcing which oversees the recruitment and talent management for many
government departments and agencies have already introduced several high profile initiatives which
promote entry-level opportunities for BAME candidates. In 2015, the Civil Service doubled the
amount of school-leaver apprenticeship places to 400. The Civil Service have also launched internship
schemes which cater exclusively for undergraduates from BAME backgrounds. Up to 100 internships
have been made available to first year undergraduates to experience working at the Civil Service in
graduate-type role37
. This early form of exposure to the public sector helps to break down barriers for
ethnic minority groups and provide better opportunities to enter the sector.
Conclusion
This report has shone a spotlight on diversity in the public sector. From our search for ‘visible’ BAME
executive leaders it is clear that many organisations, agencies and public bodies are still far from being
representative of the populations and communities in which they serve. Meanwhile, those who sit on
executive boards stand as a testament to the progress that has been made to improve diversity within
the public sector in recent years.
What has become clear is that although many public sector organisations have achieved diversity
ratings far in excess of the diversity makeup of the United Kingdom population as a whole, there is
still a significant disparity between those in leadership and senior roles compared to those employed
in lower-grade administrative positions or similar.
Promoting equality at all levels remains a particular challenge for the public sector as a whole. With
progression rates within the sector are generally slower than comparable roles in the private sector it
may be some time before equality becomes the norm at every level of the profession. Significant
interventions will be required not only to ensure that those from ethnic backgrounds can succeed and
