The National Health Service of Great Britain faces accusations of racial discrimination against White Employment applicants, since it was reported that it leaves tactics to increase the number of ethnic minorities contracted.
NHS England is an active promotion of local branches to ensure that at least one candidate for ethnic minorities or other black makes their hiring of short lists for possible personnel members, which is artificial, biarating the process of white candidates, according to white candidates Daily Telegraph.
The documents obtained by the broad blade found that the socialized health system has legislation for the use of the “Roooney Rule”, a practice adopted by the National Football League in the United States required by candority at least.
In a document entitled “Improvement of the Selection Process”, the NHS Region England east of England told the trusts that “they will consider using a version of the Rooney Rule or increase the number of underrepresented groups that are preselected.”
Separately, the NHS praised a hospital only by procedure to the stage of the hiring process interview “if there is at least one BME [black and minority ethnic] Candidate and a pre -selected candidate woman. ”
The conservative deputy and former Minister of Health, Neil O’Brien, said that the NHS has been tasks on “race -based contracting policies” that result in “people are chosen depending on the color of their skin.”
“People who put these policies in their place group all non -white groups as if they were all the same, and will favor someone from a privileged background that some who have overcome all the color of the skin.” “
While it is technically illegal in the United Kingdom to participate in positive discrimination, the practice of favoring certain races on others, as in the case of affirmative action, the leg that runs the style ofi was adjusted to the leg that was used to avoid this.
For example, the 2010 Equality Law, approved under the previous Labor Government of Gordon Brown, made companies legal positive actions “to promote the hiring of ethnic minorities.
This has been used by some to justify the practice of the request for minority candidates that are represented in all short recruitment lists, since it is not a short or preferential treatment in real hiring, while still makes scales of scales.
The Equality Law also made a size clause such as the “Tie Breaker”, in which a minority candidate could receive the advantage to be hired if they are equally qualified for the position as their white counterpart.
The report is produced following a controversy around the West Yorkshire Police hiring process, which was reported earlier this month to promulgated a temporary prohibition of accepting requests from white candidates to accumulate more requests for “sub -present groups” before the hiring is restarted.
Last week, the chief of the police force, police chief John Robins, argued that “the legislation should change” to legalize positive discrimination in favor of ethnic minorities in white candidates.
