Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 26 October (HL9091), how many of the 33 full and part-time BAME staff employed by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services are (1) Black, (2) Asian and (3) Minority Ethnic.

Of the 33 full-time and part-time BAME members of staff the Home Office employed to work at HMICFRS as at 31 March 2020, 5 were Black, 21 were Asian and 7 were from a mixed / other minority ethnic background.

Of the 168 full-time and part-time BAME staff employed by the IOPC as at 31 March 2020, 51 were Black, 85 were Asian and 32 were from a mixed / other minority ethnic background.

The 60 BAME staff referenced in the answer to your original parliamentary question covered the number of full-time BAME staff at the College of Policing. Including part-time BAME staff members increases that number to 78. Of those 78 BAME staff employed by the College of Policing as at 31 March 2020, 12 were Black, 36 were Asian, 30 were from a mixed / other minority ethnic background.

These figures will not include BAME staff who have not declared their ethnicity or those who have selected the ‘prefer not to say’ option.
