LGB+ civil servants, 2016–24

A line chart from the Institute for Government showing LGB+ staff in the civil service, 2016-24, showing that the share of LGB+ staff is higher in the senior civil service than in the whole civil service throughout the entire period.
Source: Institute for Government analysis of ONS, 'Annual Civil Service Employment Survey', 2016–18 and Cabinet Office, 'Civil Service Statistics', 2018–24.Notes: SCS = senior civil service. The LGB+ label is used because the Cabinet Office collects data on sexual orientation and gender identity separately. Percentages are calculated as shares of headcount for which sexual orientation is known. For sources of population benchmarks, see Whitehall Monitor 2024 Methodology.Get the dataEmbed Download image
