RACIAL discrimination and bullying at Britain’s largest parenting charity has left workers feeling suicidal, their trade union has revealed. 

The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) said that self-employed practitioners at the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) were being “bullied and intimidated” by bosses using client feedback as part of “equality assurance” procedures.   

This process is disproportionately affecting black workers, who are more likely to receive more negative feedback than their white counterparts, the IWGB said.
