Dear Rabyah

 

Please see below the answers to your FOI request on 6^th March 2022:-

 

1. How many British Muslim employees have you recruited? Please provide
figures for every year since 2010.

 

Year Applications Appointed
2010 No statistics 0
2011 22 0
2012 37 4
2013 19 0
2014 No statistics 0
2015 No statistics 2

2017 No statistics 2
2018 24 0
2019 22 2
2020 28 5
2021 7 2

 

In 2010 we had not yet started to collect statistics on Religion. Years
2014-2017 we did not produce recruitment statistics and as we have now
moved to a new recruitment system we are no longer able to retrieve this
data.

 

Also you must take into consideration that we have quite a few number of
applicants that do not provide their religion on an application as it is
not compulsory, likewise it is not compulsory to provide this information
when employed.

 

2. What is the average length of service?

 

Average length of service is 1 year 5 months.

 

3. How many British Muslims have you employed in communications/media
roles since 2010?

 

We have not employed anyone in this area since 2010 but we have very few
staff in this area of which there has only been one resignation during
this time.

 

Kind regards

 

Caroline Banning
