7. Promotion
Not set Not set Not set Not set
What does this tell us? Not set Not set Not set
The data presented here shows employees promoted against their status in relation to each of the following protected characteristics: age; disability; ethnicity; and gender. Not set Not set Not set
In 2016 the rate of promotion increased on 2015 to 4.7% overall from 1.8%. When looking at this overall promotion rate split by the protected characteristics some variation is observed, most notably for disability. In 2015 the promotion rate for staff who identified as not disabled was almost twice that of disabled staff and this gap is proportionally smaller in 2016. It is difficult to draw conclusions as differences are obscured by small volumes and incomplete information for disability. Not set Not set Not set
How will an improvement be shown? Not set Not set Not set
Generally the similarity of this indicator in a protected and non-protected group will indicate equivalent behaviour. However, this will require reasonably complete levels of information and sufficiently large volumes to be precise. Not set Not set Not set
