FOI - Expenditure on equality, diversity, and inclusivity.

We're waiting for Arthur Lightfoot to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Under-Treasurer of the Middle Temple,
I wish to make an FOI request, as set out under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please can your organisation provide the following information:

a) The number of roles in your association (expressed in numbers of FTE), that are mainly or exclusively focussed on issues of equality, diversity, or inclusivity. For example, this could include (amongst other guises) “EDI officers” or “diversity and inclusion project managers” but would not include general HR managers.

b) Either a) the pay band of each of these roles, or b) the combined total salaries for these roles. Whichever measure is more in accordance with your data preferences.

c) In the past 12 months the number of staff days across your organisation which have been committed to attending equality training programmes, whether internally run or with external consultants. (staff days = duration of the training programme multiplied by the number of staff in attendance for the course). If unable to provide please mark as N/A in your return.

Please can this information be returned to me within 20 working days.
If your organisation does not hold information in relation to any of the letters please file as N/A and provide the rest of the information that you do hold.

Yours faithfully,

Art Lightfoot

(80 Arrol House, London, SE1 6QL)

Compliance, Under-Treasurer of the Middle Temple

Dear Arthur Lightfoot

 

Thank you for your request to the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple
(the Inn) for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You
asked to be provided with the following information:

 

a)      The number of roles in your association (expressed in numbers of
FTE), that are mainly or exclusively focussed on issues of equality,
diversity, or inclusivity. For example, this could include (amongst other
guises) “EDI officers” or “diversity and inclusion project managers” but
would not include general HR managers.

b)      Either a) the pay band of each of these roles, or b) the combined
total salaries for these roles. Whichever measure is more in accordance
with your data preferences.

c)      In the past 12 months the number of staff days across your
organisation which have been committed to attending equality training
programmes, whether internally run or with external consultants. (staff
days = duration of the training programme multiplied by the number of
staff in attendance for the course). If unable to provide please mark as
N/A in your return.

 

Part II of Schedule 1 of The Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides that
only information produced by the Under Treasurer of the Middle Temple, and
their staff, in their capacity as a local authority is covered by the Act.
It does not extend to information generated by the Inn as a private body.
The Under Treasurer of the Inn exercises a small number of local authority
functions, with the remainder being delegated to the responsibility of the
City of London. Information about which functions are still provided by
the Inn and which are delegated to the City of London can be found on the
Inn’s website here:
[1]https://www.middletemple.org.uk/about-us...

 

The information that you have requested falls outside of the Inn’s remit
as a local authority, and is therefore excluded from the Act. The Inn is
therefore not obliged to provide this information to you under the Freedom
of Information Act and will not be doing so on this occasion.

 

The Inn, however, would be happy to discuss providing some of this
information to you outside of the Act if you email the Inn’s FOI email
address using the information on the Inn’s website, see above.

 

If you have any queries about this response please do not hesitate to get
in touch.

 

Many thanks
