A Labour council has asked its staff to undertake a 'privilege test', claiming it will help root out unconscious bias in the workplace.

The training, implemented by Westminster City Council, is to address assumptions about non-white British communities as part of the local authority's aim to increase the number of employees matching the London borough's population, according to the Telegraph.

The publication reports that "insiders" have said they are offered a virtual "privilege walk", where staff are encouraged to reflect on any social advantages they have via an online quiz. They can check how privileged they are by responding to prompts including whether they were read to by their parents when they were children.

At the Express, we got our hands on the quiz and decided to put you to the test. Can you pass it? Take the quiz below or click here.

The Telegraph cites documents as also reportedly showing managers who fail to shortlist people from non-white ethnic groups have to contact council chief executive Stuart Love to discuss their decision-making.

Mr Love previously told Management Today he is proud to be described as "too woke" in an interview in which he explained how his childhood under apartheid South Africa has shaped him as a leader.

He told the publication: "We should all be woke, but particularly in local government where we are delivering services to communities."

The council supremo added: "I lean into this term (woke) because it’s been hijacked and weaponised. I am quite happy to be accused of being socially aware of injustice."
