Staff data

At Anglia Ruskin University, we celebrate the diversity of our staff population.

Staff snapshot

Like a photograph, the Snapshot gives an impression of our staff on the day it was taken and serves as a rough guide of the diversity that can be found across our campuses.

Equality information

We're required to publish equality information on staff and students annually to comply with the Equality Act 2010 (see Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011); we will however aim to publish equality information more regularly, as it becomes available. By publishing this information we're demonstrating how we're meeting our public sector equality duty to have due regard, in carrying out our functions, to the need to eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation; advance equality of opportunity; and foster good relations between people from different groups sharing a particular protected characteristic.

We collect equality data on the protected characteristics of age, disability, ethnicity, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation from members of staff.

We regularly analyse our equality monitoring data to ascertain whether there are any existing or emerging trends or patterns requiring action.

Our data excludes details of respondents who 'prefer not to say' and where the information is unknown, unless we state otherwise.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Collection Notice

We'll use the data for equality monitoring and compiling statistical returns including those we have to make to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). HE institutions also have a legal requirement to monitor and publish data as part of the public sector equality duty of the Equality Act 2010. Any reports we produce using this information will be anonymised to prevent identification of any individual.

We’ll continue to hold the personal data provided confidentially as part of your employee record. As part of our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, we may invite you to participate in focus groups and/or assist with policy development in the future. If for any reason you object to this, please contact HR Services, Chelmsford.

Any information you provide will be treated and processed in accordance with our Data Protection Policy.
