The new CCS report casts doubt on previous research that concludes certain senior professional roles are woefully under-representative of people from ethnic backgrounds. It claims that this creates a false impression of British society which could lead to poor policy decision making and fuelling a sense of injustice that breeds division, the report warns. The problem mainly occurs because comparisons are being made between professional groups and the whole population, without taking into account other relevant factors, like age, education, or geography. One example cited in the report is the claim by campaigners that only one percent of headteachers being black represents huge under-representation in our schools, when compared to the 14 percent of the population that comes from black and ethnic minority (BAME) backgrounds.
