More than one in 10 officials at the Ministry of Justice say they have experienced bullying, harassment or discrimination.
The department is suffering an exodus of staff as a Whithall probe investigates bullying claims against Justice Secretary Dominic Raab.
According to the annual Civil Service People Survey, 11% of MoJ staff warned that they had experienced bullying, harassment or discrimination - significantly higher than an average across the Civil Service of 7%.
Staff turnover in the MoJ’s Whitehall headquarters has dramatically increased over the last year under Mr Raab’s leadership.
According to an annual report by the department, 7.2% of staff have left the department and civil service in the years 2021/22, compared to only 4.6% in 2020/21.
The Mirror revealed in November Mr Raab has been nicknamed “the Incinerator” because he “burns through” staff so quickly.
