Employees told us that racial discrimination is one of a number of reasons why they have been overlooked for a promotion
• Racial discrimination is one of the common reasons given for having been overlooked for promotion, in addition to favouritism, personal contacts favoured above internal candidates and prejudice on the basis of gender or age.
“Age and possibly gender, possibly …race "blindness" - not active
discrimination, but just propensity to look at young white people as
having potential, rather than others.” –
Female, 54, White and Black Caribbean
