Overall points to note

The most notable gaps between Minoritised and White respondents appear in relation to the question about feeling isolated or represented. Minoritised respondents were also more likely to have experienced bullying, victimisation or microaggressions and were more likely to refrain from calling this out of concern for how they would be perceived for doing so.

Minoritised respondents were also less likely to feel that support for them was well communicated and visible and more likely to have experience of raising a grievance and to have identified bias in the recruitment process.
