Consultation description

This consultation is seeking views on how to introduce mandatory ethnicity and disability pay reporting for large employers (those with 250 or more employees). Responses to the consultation will help to shape proposals which will be included in the upcoming Equality (Race and Disability) Bill, which聽 was announced in the King鈥檚 Speech in July 2024.

  • employers
  • public sector bodies
  • trades unions
  • race and disability stakeholders
