The Inclusive Talent Strategy (ITS) sets out our vision for a fairer, more inclusive approach to workforce development across London. To ensure the strategy is grounded in robust insight and reflects the voices of Londoners and businesses, we have compiled a comprehensive set of supporting materials on this page. Evidence Base: The detailed evidence base draws on a wide range of data sources and literature. The document was used to support the development of the ITS and Get London Working Plan and provides insights into current inequalities in labour market outcomes, barriers faced by underrepresented groups, and opportunities to improve access to good work. Consultation Summary: The GLA and London Councils engaged extensively with stakeholders across London to shape the strategy. The consultation process included roundtables and written submissions from employers, community organisations and education providers. The summary presented here captures the key themes, concerns, and recommendations raised during this engagement. Talk London Campaign: To ensure the strategy reflects the lived experiences of Londoners, the GLA and London Councils ran a public engagement campaign through Talk London. Residents shared their views on what inclusive talent means to them, the challenges they face, and the changes they want to see. The campaign helped us understand the everyday realities of navigating work, education, and opportunity in the capital. Together, these materials demonstrate our commitment to transparency, evidence-led decision-making, and meaningful engagement. They show how the Inclusive Talent Strategy has been shaped by both data and dialogue—and how it aims to deliver real change for London’s diverse communities.
