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.

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%.

Religion & Belief 5.1 Religion & Belief of Staff Members
This is the third year we have collected data on the religious beliefs of staff. Of those whose
religious beliefs are declared, Christianity remains the dominant religion at the University,
making up 31.4% (up from 28.7%) of total staff. Those who have no religious affiliation are
the second largest group at 27.7% (also up from 24.9%). The unknown total has come down
from 40.7% of the workforce to 28.3% which helps to explain the increase in both
numbers.bill

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.

of the 2016 White/White Irish were put forward (29.3%).
Once at the interview stage 181 (30.6% of interviewees) who were White/White Irish
accepted a job offer while only 7 (9.2%) of BAME interviewees were offered and accepted a
job. This is an area that we are going to need to investigate further.
