The majority of High Street banks are members of diversity schemes run by the controversial charity Stonewall, The Telegraph can reveal.
Lenders are facing questions over their links to the charity amid a backlash over closing the bank accounts of some people with gender-critical views.
A vicar who questioned his building society’s Pride branding had his account closed, while a Scottish blogger believes action was taken by his bank over his stance on gender issues.
Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme includes guidance to employers on gender-neutral spaces and the use of pronouns. The company also runs a top 100 index that measures employers on diversity and inclusion. DT.
