There has been a further 5% decrease in the amount of refused/unknown staff,

following the 8% decrease in 2016, in both the Sexual Orientation and Religious belief

categories. We must continue to put in the effort put in to lower these further as we still do

not have information on around a third of staff in both of these categories.

There are 335 staff members who are Unknown/Refused in the Religion category

and 313 in Sexual Orientation. Out of these 279 of them are Unknown/Refused in both.

The number of staff who declare themselves Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) has remained at 4.2%. Unknowns have creeped up

to 4.1% from 4%.This leaves the University well below the HEFCE 2015-16 average of 12.8% and no closer to achieving our 6% Strategic

Target.

On the applicant and appointee tables we see the number of applicants for University posts

by those from a BAME background. There has been a slight increase in applicants declaring

themselves as BAME from 14.1% to 14.4% but a decrease of 1.9% in (5.5% to 3.6%) of the

total appointees who identify as BAME. This is back to pre-2014 levels. This identifies an area

that needs focusing upon if we are to achieve a rise in BAME eventual recruitment.

Disability 3.1 Disability of Staff Members

P a g e | 13

It should be noted that not all staff with a disability choose to declare it. In total, 65

members of staff have declared a disability. The most common categories of disability, using

HESA definitions, remain as ‘specific learning difficulty (dyslexia, dyspraxia, AD(H)D)’ and

‘longstanding illness/health condition (cancer, HIV, diabetes)’ at 14 each. There has been a

small increase in staff declaring a disability from 6.8% to 6.9% which remains significantly

above the HEFCE average which is 4.7%.

No Religion is still the largest group with 1,083 applicants (42.2% up from 40.6%). Christianity

is the second most common response, with 921applicants (35.9% down from 38.6%). The

other religions had no significant change in their number of applicants on the previous year.

There has been a change in the religion/non-religion of appointees. 36.5% of

appointments (down from 45.2%) declared themselves as Christian whereas 47.7% (up from

37.2%) declared themselves to be of no religion. This reverses the trend of previous years of

there being a disproportionately high number of appointees that were Christian.

Gender 6.1 Gender of Staff Members

Gender breakdown across staffing groups (excluding casual and hourly)

Historical breakdown of gender numbers at the university

The historical breakdown shows that the proportion of male to female staff has

continued around 60% female for the last 6 years, but has fallen by 0.6% since last year

(60.9% from 61.5%). This is significantly higher than the HEFCE average of 54% female staff.

Professional Services staff has the biggest gender imbalance (257 females (71.8%) to

101 males (28.2%) though this has improved slightly from last year. Our Academic,

Management and Professional Services employment areas all have gender ratios of around,

or exactly, 50% females to males although there are greater variables when looked at from

the perspective of pay grades.
