Gender and ethnicity data of Special Advisers to Welsh Government since 1999

The request was successful.

Dear Welsh Government,

I am interested to better understand how the diversity is reflected appointments working with Welsh Government, in particular special advisers.

Over the 5 terms of the Welsh Assembly/Parliament (since 1999) how many special advisers have been BAME. For the same period what percentage of special advisers have been women.

If you do not have data for this whole period, I would like to receive data that is available.

Yours faithfully,
J Gray

Welsh Government

Dear Welsh Government,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Welsh Government's handling of my FOI request 'Gender and ethnicity data of Special Advisers to Welsh Government since 1999'. ATISN 14091

I initially requested data on Special Advisers relating to gender and ethnicity.

I was provided with the gender data, but not details on SPADS who are BAME.

I did request data in different formats, so percentages of women and men. Whereas I asked for number of BAME special advisers. I would be very happy to receive the BAME data as a percentage if that further protects personal data.

The legitimate interest in both instances are the same, as is the type of data i.e. protected characteristics. I do not believe that the necessity test is different for each set of characteristics. It is particularly pertinent at this time, to establish the diversity in decision making at a government level.

I look forward to your response.
Kind regards
J Gray.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/g...

Yours faithfully,

J Gray
