Equality and Diversity: Workforce Monitoring Reports
NHS Grampian Equality and Diversity Workforce Monitoring Report
The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 came into force on the 27th May 2012. This requires public bodies such as NHS Grampian to produce an Annual Equality and Diversity Workforce Monitoring Report for our staff covering all 9 of the “protected characteristics”, as defined in the Equality Act 2010. The 9 “protected characteristics” are:
- Race
- Disability
- Sex (male or female)
- Religion or belief
- Sexual orientation
- Gender reassignment
- Age
- Pregnancy and maternity
- Marriage and civil partnership
The Regulations require that the Workforce Report must include details of:
- The number of staff and their relevant protected characteristics
- Information on the recruitment, development and retention of employees, in terms of their protected characteristics.
- Details of the progress the public body has made to gather and use the above information to enable it to better perform the equality duty.
Where numbers in a category/Table are small, some figures have been rounded to one decimal place or expressed as ‘less than five’, to reduce the risk of individuals being identified inadvertently.
Staff have the legal right not to disclose information about their protected characteristics, if they so choose. Any information staff supply is on a purely voluntary basis. The completeness of our information varies, protected characteristics by characteristic.
This is the DRAFT NHS Grampian Workforce Monitoring Report for January 2023 to December 2023 (pdf)
As part of our duty to comply with the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 and NHS Grampian's ongoing commitment to ensuring equal opportunities for all and protecting people from discrimination, we regularly publish statutory reports.
