The latest report from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) examines the barriers to senior leadership for people from minority ethnic groups in FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies.

Data on UK workplace inequality showed a lack of representation of people from minority ethnic groups in senior positions.

While 10.6% of people in the Indian ethnic group were in manager, director or senior roles, the percentage of workers from the black ethnic group employed in these senior level roles is 4.6%.

For comparison, this figure is 10.7% for white British workers. Compared to other ethnic groups, black workers are in the smallest proportion at senior levels.
