Home Office: Training

We have defined diversity training to mean courses where training includes the awareness of diversity or inclusion as the main theme of the training. This does not include training for specific diversity groups e.g. to support career progression.

It is not possible to disaggregate the costs of all diversity and inclusion training undertaken by Home Office staff in 2022 as diversity and inclusion related training often forms part of a wider learning package.

For example, the cost for mandatory ‘Inclusion in the Civil Service’ diversity training formed part of a wider payment made by the Home Office to the Government Skills and Curriculum Unit (GSCU) for the broader offer of learning made to the Home Office and other Government Departments. The Government Skills and Curriculum Unit (GSCU) is part of Civil Service HR in the Cabinet Office.
