1.The DWP Workforce
As part of our commitment to achieving a workforce representative of the society we serve and providing equality of opportunity, we monitor representation of protected characteristics by grade across the Department. We also set representation targets for staff at senior grades for ethnicity, disability and gender.

The data presented here show the Department’s employees by grade as percentages against each of the following protected characteristics: age; disability; ethnicity; and gender. On this occasion, the levels of information provided for sexual orientation and religion or belief are too low for publication. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
Proportionally, there has been little change on 2015. Around 65% of staff are aged 45 and over, with 1.7% aged 65+. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
The targets for disability representation have been exceeded by all grades that have a target with the exception of Grade 6, which is 0.1 percentage points below target. From 2015 to 2016 there were increases in Grade 7 and SCS representation, both of which had been below target in 2015. These figures can only be based on the data for those who provided information. The disability status of 82.2% of employees is known. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
The target for ethnic minority representation has been exceeded at the SCS grade in 2016 although the total number of staff at this grade is small. However the targets have not been reached in the grades from HEO to Grade 6. There is no ethnicity target for the AA to EO grades, which cover the bulk of DWP staff, as a consequence of representation at these grades being above the economically active rate when the targets were set. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
The gender target for Grade 7 was exceeded. However the targets for Grade 6 and SCS were not achieved. The numbers in these bands are small. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set

How will an improvement be shown? Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
A higher percentage under each protected characteristic will suggest that we employ a greater proportion of people with that protected characteristic. However other factors, such as the number of employees providing this information, will need to be taken into account. The rates of information provided for ethnicity and disability are such that there are smaller numbers of staff providing information in those groups than the numbers who have not provided any information. This makes any conclusions less definite. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
