There is no obligation to share this information with Trade Union representatives. However, DCMS regularly shares D&amp;I data, equality impact assessments and other relevant information in order to support engagement and discussion with the unions on areas of policy. Detailed information on the Civil Service workforce is also collected and published centrally as part of the Annual Civil Service Employment Statistics.</p><p>DCMS’s D&amp;I strategy is aligned to the new Civil Service Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2022-2025 which recognises our success and builds on this good work to encourage a broader range of people into the Civil Service to give depth to our understanding of contemporary society in the United Kingdom. It provides the necessary framing for diversity and inclusion activity in the Civil Service as part of our wider workforce strategy, and through that, how the Civil Service delivers for its people, the government and our citizens.</p><p>A link to the Civil Service statistics can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/civil-service-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/civil-service-statistics</a></p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 30/01/2023 14:07:40 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
