Dear Thalia 
Thank you for your request for information from the University of
Sheffield. 
The University holds some of the information you have requested, and
colleagues have supplied this in the attached document. 
Please note, where the number of individuals totals less than 5, this has
been presented as ‘<5’ to avoid the identification of individuals and with
regard to section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. Section 40(2)
provides an exemption from disclosure for personal data, where this would
contravene data protection principles. 
The University does not hold the information going as far back as 2015,
but we have supplied the information we do hold. Data for 2023 will be
available from 1 December 2023. 
If you are not satisfied with the University's response to your FOI
request, please see details of our internal review process [1]here,
including details of how to contact the Information Commissioner's Office
for an independent review.
Best wishes
Elspeth
