flag Over 20% of BME staff at Suffolk and North East Essex ICB reported harassment, despite progress in reducing discrimination.

flag A recent staff survey at the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board found that over 20% of Black and minority ethnic (BME) staff reported harassment, bullying, or abuse from colleagues, despite improvements in overall discrimination rates. flag While discrimination from managers dropped to 11% among BME staff—down from 17.39%—and to 4.7% among white staff, bullying incidents remained higher for BME employees. flag Patient-related harassment of BME staff also rose to 17.6%. flag Leaders acknowledged progress but stressed ongoing challenges, citing workplace stress and societal tensions. flag Positive changes included narrowing recruitment gaps and reduced pressure on disabled staff to work while unwell. flag The ICB reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy and pledged to monitor survey results closely.
