Dear Rabyah,

 

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request.  Please
find below the information requested. 

 

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

2. What is the average length of service?

 

This table details the number of British Muslim employees by their start
date of employment.   Please note that it is not mandatory for staff to
disclose details of their religious beliefs; 42% of our employees have
declined to or not provided this detail to date.

 

We have instances of employees leaving the University and returning and
each instance is counted separately in this data.

 

Calendar Year No. of Employees Average length of Service (to 01.02.2022)
2010 <5 4.8
2011 <5 10.3
2012 <5 8.9
2013 <5 0.5
2014 9 4.3
2015 6 4.6
2016 5 3.6
2017 8 1.8
2018 8 1.9
2019 12 1.4
2020 12 1.1
2021 14 0.4
Grand Total 83 2.3

 

As the requested information constitutes sensitive personal data, our
response is provided in accordance with the ICO Anonymisation: Managing
Data Protection Risk Code of Practice (i.e. where the information relates
to fewer than five individuals, this is recorded as <5).  This is to
prevent the possible identification of those individuals. 

 

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

 

We have no individual employees who are recorded as British Muslim working
directly in communications/media-specific positions. We are aware that
many roles have an element of communications or media responsibility, but
we do not hold this information in an easily accessible format.

 

I hope this information is useful.  If, for any reason, you are
dissatisfied with the way in which your request for information has been
handled, you may invoke the following complaints procedure:

Yours sincerely,
