Dear Rabyah,

Further to your Freedom of Information request below, the university's response is as follows:

Please note that this is extracted from information voluntarily provided at the discretion of university employees, and thus there may be a number of employees who have declined to provide this data.

* Where the information above reads '5 or fewer', we are unable to release the information in further detail as the numbers involved are sufficiently low that it could be possible for individuals to be identified; this would breach the first data protection principle (as set out in Article 5(1) of the GDPR and section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018), that disclosure be fair and lawful. The precise figures are therefore exempt from disclosure under sections 40(2)(b) and 40(3A) of the Freedom of Information Act.

2. What is the average length of service?

Between 0-10 years

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