Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what proportion of non-senior civil service BAME staff employed by the Competition and Markets Authority have received a poor performance marking of partly achieved or needs to improve for the financial year 2019-20; and how that proportion directly compares to the proportion of non-BAME staff that have received that marking.
The proportion of BAME and non-BAME staff in receipt of ‘Partially Achieving’ or ‘Needs to Improve’ ratings for the performance year 2019 – 2020 is as follows:
Ethnicity | Partially Achieving | Needs to Improve |
BAME | 12.3% | 1.1% |
Non-BAME | 5.0% | 0.2% |
Prefer not to say | 21.4% | 0.0% |
Not Reportable1 | 6.3% | 2.1% |
It should be noted that only a small number of ‘Partially Achieving’ (52) and ‘Needs to Improve’ (4) were issued across 736 overall ratings. In addition, the ‘Prefer not to say’ cohort for ethnicity is only comprised of 16 staff
1 Not Reportable refers to staff that have not disclosed information for a given diversity characteristic.
