answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>In the Written Ministerial Statement of 15 December 2020, <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2020-12-15/hcws652" target="_blank">HCWS652</a>, the Government outlined how unconscious bias training fails to deliver value for taxpayers' money and is ineffective. We indicated that it will be phased out in the Civil Service, and encourage the wider public sector to do the same.</p><p>Similar principles can be applied to &quot;critical race theory&quot; training, which is a controversial political ideology. Councils should be seeking to keep council tax down, and focus resources to supporting frontline services and covid recovery.</p><p>Moreover, the application of critical race theory to municipal public services threatens to undermine integration and community cohesion, by exaggerating differences within local communities; instead, councils should be seeking to build and strengthen a shared local and national identity across class, colour and creed.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 14/06/2021 16:21:01 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>The Race Disparity Unit has made no assessment of the levels of discrimination against Chagossians living in the UK. The Government is clear that no one in this country should have to endure racism and we are committed to building a fairer Britain and taking the action needed to address disparities wherever they exist. This includes considering carefully the recommendations of the report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities that was published on 31 March.</p><p>Those who feel they have been discriminated against should contact the <a href="http://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/app/ask" target="_blank">Equality Advisory Support Service</a> for help and advice.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 27/04/2021 13:52:01 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
