Dear Ms Link,
I am interested in the University’s positive duties under recent legislation on race, disability and gender equality and understand that information should be provided to the unions to allow a partnership approach.
As a result, could you please provide the following information:
- Staff numbers at the University, ordered by grade (i.e. L, SL, PL, AL etc. for academic staff), broken down according to gender, ethnic origin and disability.
- Numbers of all hourly-paid lecturers in each department, broken down according to gender, ethnic origin and disability.
- Details of all disciplinary actions taken against staff since 2005 and their outcomes, broken down according to gender, ethnic origin and disability.
- Details of all grievance hearings since 2005 and their outcomes, broken down according to gender, ethnic origin and disability.
- Information on PADAS awards for 2005, 2006 and, when available, 2007, according to gender, ethnic origin and disability. Please also inform me when the 2007 figures will be available.
- A copy of the race equality policy, gender equality scheme and disability equality scheme.
- A copy of all monitoring information currently provided under each scheme.
- Details of consultations with trades unions concerning positive duties towards race, gender and disability equality.
- Details of the consultation arrangements with ethnic minority, female and disabled staff and students in reference to the drafting and implementation of the three schemes.
- A copy of the arrangements and criteria for using race, gender and disability impact assessments.
- Copies of all race, gender and disability impact assessments for 2005, 2006 and 2007 along with details of remedial actions taken.
