  • are from a minority-ethnic background
  • are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGB&T)

Written by Ben Summerskill, former Chief Executive of LGB&T charity Stonewall UK, this report looks at the experiences of LGB&T staff working in the Civil Service in the last 30 years and makes recommendations addressing the following areas:

  • talent processes and career development
  • culture in the Civil Service
