Paragraph
Paragraph text
In this context, the general prohibition on discrimination in respect of entry into these professions is not sufficient. Actual measurable increase in the recruitment, retention and progression of minorities, including at the most senior levels, is essential. Investment may be required well in advance of formal recruitment processes, for instance, through encouraging and enabling members of minorities to study in order to acquire the necessary academic or professional qualifications.
