Dear Teuta
Thank you for your Freedom of Information Act Request. Please find
attached the response to your FOI request.
We have supplied data where “Teaching” is listed as the employee type in
our system, we are unable to provide numbers as is some cases these are
too low and may lead to the ability to identify the individuals concerned.
The percentage figures are the percentage of people within that Employee
Type against each of the declared Ethnicities.
The categories against which people were asked to provide their ethnicity
details have changed over the years. As such we have provided the data as
it was declared, other than for those who declared their Ethnicity to be
“White”. This was sub-divided in 2010-11, 11-12 and 12-13 so we have
amalgamated this to provide consistency. Other categories varied so could
not be reconfigured and have been left as they were presented. I have not
provided information for 2017/18 as this year is not yet complete and
comparable data is not available.
Should you wish to seek a review of this response to your request, please
write to Mr S Dudderidge, Registrar and Secretary, Mithras House, Lewes
Road, Brighton BN2 4AT. If this fails to resolve the matter then you have
the right to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
Yours sincerely
Rachel
