Completely agree with this.

I remember in the summer, in the midst of Black Lives Matter, a Sky news reporter asked Matt Hancock how many black people worked in Parliament. His response was that we have many “BAME” workers, which many can agree does not answer the question. Similarly, some firms may not want to highlight and break down their stats of BAME because it will reinforce a clear lack of representation.

I’m hoping one firm can take lead and others will follow. For example, as someone already mentioned, Linklaters Halo Code is a great step in the right direction for creating a more inclusive workspace for black women. Perhaps other firms will follow, adopt a similar approach and recognise it makes business sense to go further in their diversity initiatives.
