There is no central budget for unconscious bias training specifically. Instead, departments are able to access a blend of free at point of access online learning, and learning purchased through current contracts. The information requested on spend is therefore not held centrally.


Further to the statement on 15 December, standalone Unconscious Bias training has been removed from Civil Service learning platforms.
