Government to tackle those issues.</p><p> </p><p>This work ranges from the Commission
on Race and Ethnic Disparities looking at outcomes for the whole population - including
ethnic minorities and White British people; preparation for an Employment Bill which,
subject to further consultation, will make flexible working the default unless employers
have good reason not to; delivering the Suicide Prevention Workplan, which sets out
action that is being taken across Government departments and the NHS to reduce suicides,
including amongst men.</p><p> </p><p>This Government is committed to levelling up
opportunity and ensuring fairness for all - regardless of gender or background.</p><p>
