The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has a public service agreement (shared with the Department for Work and Pensions) to significantly increase the employment rate of ethnic minorities. DTI is part of the Ethnic Minority Employment Task force—the Government-wide group tasked with increasing ethnic minority employment.
The DTI also brought in regulations outlawing workplace discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief.
DTI funds ACAS and BusinessLink who both provide advice to businesses on equality issues and increasing ethnic diversity in the workforce.
