Cabinet Office written question – answered at on 23 March 2022.
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many Employment Tribunal claims of (a) race and (b) disability discrimination have been settled before a hearing in each of the last five years; and what the total cost was of those settlements.
Under the GDPR, the Cabinet Office is unable to provide specific data broken down year-on-year for the number of Employment Tribunal claims of a) race and b) disability that have been settled before a hearing. However, in total for the five year period from 01/01/2017 - 01/01/2022 there have been a total of 9 race, disability or race and disability discrimination cases that have been settled before a hearing.
The total cost of settlement provided by our third party provider for all disability and race discrimination cases for the Cabinet Office in the five year period is £280,085.15. This figure captures settlement only - not associated costs. Any settlements made during the ACAS Early Conciliation process are not included here as by definition they have not progressed to an employment tribunal claim.
