A survey has revealed that 45% of lesbian, gay or bisexual people have experienced discrimination when using social care services.

The Commission for Social Care Inspection survey found that 91% of providers, out of 400, had failed to carry out any equality work around sexual orientation. In contrast, a third of those providers had promoted race or disability equality.
