Office for Tackling Injustices

The Office for Tackling Injustices (OfTI) is a UK government body created on 12 July 2019 by Prime Minister Theresa May that works independently to encourage future governments to focus on addressing inequalities in society. The body collects evidence on disparities in areas including socio-economic background, ethnicity, gender, disability and sexual orientation. Its role will be limited to collecting and publishing data, and will not make any policy recommendations, leading it to criticism for duplicating data-gathering functions already performed by bodies such as the Office for National Statistics. The Guardian has called the OfTI a way for May to secure a legacy before a new leader is elected by the Conservative Party membership.
