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.
