Office for Tackling Injustices

The Office for Tackling Injustices (OfTI) is a proposed UK government body announced on 12 July 2019.

[1] It was said by Prime Minister Theresa May that it would work independently to encourage future governments to focus on addressing inequalities in society.

[2] The body would collect evidence on disparities in areas including socio-economic background, ethnicity, gender, disability and sexual orientation.

[3] Its role would be limited to collecting and publishing data, and it would not make any policy recommendations,[4][5] leading it to criticism for duplicating data-gathering functions already performed by bodies such as the Office for National Statistics.

[6] The Guardian described the OfTI as a way for May to secure a legacy before a new leader was elected by the Conservative Party membership.
