This means by April 2021 the College will have:
increased awareness of unconscious bias and the potential impacts of this upon decision-making
amongst staff involved in staff recruitment
enhanced staff recruitment processes by continuing to use alternative advertising opportunities
and e-recruitment technologies
achieved Disability Confident Employer (Level 3) status
successfully participated in the Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) Supporting Workforce Diversity
project and as a result increased staff disability disclosure
increased overall staff engagement in mental health and wellbeing initiatives and interventions
trend reduction in the gap between male and female staff disclosure of a mental health condition
Key priority:
Increasing applications of those from Black
and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds
The staff race profile at the College is
predominantly White (this includes all the
UK domains and the Republic of Ireland) in
comparison to all other races. The highest
represented race group in comparison to all
other staff groups is White Scottish at 73.48%.
Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) staff account
for 1.96% of College staff. These figures are not
significantly different from the earlier review in
April 2015. Where change exists, however, White
Scottish has increased from 70.81% and BME
has increased from 0.78%. It is important to note
also that the total number of non-disclosure
or unknown has increased to 9.38% of staff in
relation to race.
