Black people completely absent from Senior Roles
Trevor Phillips reports [4 February] that there are NO Black Chief Executives, Chairs nor Finance Chiefs at any FTSE 100 Company. Trevor Phillips’ quote: ‘The snowy peaks of British business remains stubbornly white’ is a longstanding situation which is not improving. Back in 2012 my research team collected evidence in the city of Liverpool on the employment percentage and status of the city’s Black working population. Our resultant Report was published as ‘In My Liverpool Home: an investigation into the institutionalised invisibility of Liverpool’s black citizens’. Our report evidenced minimal representation of the Black community in the city Council’s work force including its schools’ teaching staff. Analysis of those data evidenced an almost total absence of Black employees in senior leadership in the Council and its schools’ management cohorts. In 2021, our Many Faces In Teaching research organisation is still supporting Black stakeholders – children, parents, families through all ranges of the employment system to overcome the institutionalised resistance to Black advancement to which Phillips refers.
