Gender balance on public boards in Scotland

The request was successful.

Dear Care Inspectorate,

This is a Freedom of Information Request.

In November 2015 The First Minister made a commitment to work towards gender balance on all public boards in Scotland.

Please could you supply me with the following information?

1. At November 12 2015, how many men and and how many women were on the board of your organisation?
2. At November 12 2015, was the Chairperson (or person with an equivalent role) a man or a woman?
3. How many men and how many women are now on the board of your organisation?
4. Is the current Chairperson (or person with an equivalent role) a man or a woman?
5. Does the board have a formal strategy or policy commitment to achieving gender balance? If so please supply a copy of the document where the policy is laid out. Please also confirm the date that this policy was adopted.
6. What is the current median FTE pay for men and women in the organisation?

Please do not send the requested information in pdf format files. I would prefer to receive the requested information by email in a machine readable format such as MS Excel.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Ally Tibbitt

Dear Mr Tibbitt

 

Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002

Information Request

Thank you for your request dated 19 January 2018 under the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) for:-

 1. At November 12 2015, how many men and how many women were on the board
of your organisation?
 2. At November 12 2015, was the Chairperson (or person with an equivalent
role) a man or a woman?
 3. How many men and how many women are now on the board of your
organisation?
 4. Is the current Chairperson (or person with an equivalent role) a man
or a woman?
 5. Does the board have a formal strategy or policy commitment to
achieving gender balance? If so please supply a copy of the document
where the policy is laid out. Please also confirm the date that this
policy was adopted.
 6. What is the current median FTE pay for men and women in the
organisation?

In order to identify and locate the information that you have asked for we
need some further information from you.  In particular, it would be
helpful to know for question 5 if you wish to know if we hold a strategy
for gender balance across the organisation's staff or gender balance
across the board? and for question 6 if you are looking for median FTE pay
for all staff or just the board.  As I am unable to continue without this,
I will put your request on hold until I hear back from you.

When we receive this further information from you we will be able to
respond to your request, in accordance with FOISA, within 20 working days
of when we receive the information.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
the Care Inspectorate.  Should you required any further assistance
concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact the Information
Governance Team on 01382 346471.

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Caroline Rose

Hi Caroline,

Sorry for the slightly ambiguous request.

To clarify:

For Question 5, I am interested in just information relating to the board only.

For Question 6, I am interested in information relating to the whole organisation.

Thanks,

Ally Tibbitt
