The  consultation document on mandatory Ethnicity Pay Gap and Disability Pay Gap reporting was launched on the 18th of March this year. There wasn’t much fan fair but those who have been part of the efforts to make it mandatory have followed the proceedings with great anticipations.  The #EthnicityPayGap Campaign has had discussions with the Cabinet office to discuss the launch of the consultation document and we were very pleased that an agreed date had been mentioned.  I would say that we had hoped the consultation document would have been launched earlier, but we understood the challenges the Cabinet Office had to come to an agreed date. 

The deadline to complete the consultation document is the 10th June.  It very important that we make all efforts to complete the document, to ensure our voices are heard.  https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/equality-race-and-disability-bill-mandatory-ethnicity-and-disability-pay-gap-reporting/consultation-document-html

On 8th February 2025 we held our 2nd Ethnicity Pay Gap Summit.  This was well attended with 110 attendees from various organisations and sectors.  We had lots of positive feedback, with someone sighting, they believe that the Summit will be seen as the best DEI event of 2025 

Since the summit I have been working on a new project with Share Action and Action for Race Equality which is funded by Trust for London. Our project has a laser focus on the Ethnicity Pay Gap with community engagement, Policy development, roundtable discussions and webinars.  There will be more activity throughout 2025 into 2026. 

We are currently working on organising an Ethnicity Pay Gap Summit Networking event. We have over 30 people signed up, we anticipate more will attend.  This will be a great opportunity to share the experience of  completing the consultation document and to share what  organisations are currently doing about their Ethnicity Pay Gap.

#EthnicityPayGap Campaign is making great strides to work in partnership with other organisations.  At a resent launch event at the House of Lords organised by Disability@Work they presented a comprehensive document outlining the case for mandatory disability employment and pay gap reporting.  I had a very good discussion with Kim Hoque  and we recognised that it was important that we work together to further each others cause. 
 
2025 is about building and growing, sharing information and educating those who are unaware of the impact the Ethnicity Pay Gap has on Black, Asian and other minoritised employees. We will seek to strive to engage with the community and be part of the conversation with the government to further enhance their knowledge and understanding.
The consultation paper is the first step, there are still more actions to be taken to get the Ethnicity Pay Gap reporting mandatory to report.
