Written Question
Equality: Training
Friday 5th April 2024

Asked by: Lord Bishop of St Albans (Bishops - Bishops)

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of recent research reported by The Times which suggests that unconscious bias training is not effective.

Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

This research is a welcome addition to the canon of research on the efficacy of diversity and inclusion (D&I) training.

We removed central unconscious bias training following the 2020 Behavioural Insight Team report which concluded that unconscious bias training was ineffective. This is supported by the recent report on the Inclusion at Work Panel’s recommendations for improving D&I practice in the workplace (published 20 March 2024). We are currently considering these recommendations, including the recommendation to develop a digital tool kit to assess the rigour, efficacy and value for money of a range of D&I practices, including training interventions.
