Based on the self-declaration rates held on our system, the number of BAME staff employed in each grade group, and as a proportion of the staff in that grade who have made a declaration, is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Grade</p></td><td><p>Number (proportion)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A (Grade 7 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>20 (13.6%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Band A+ (Grade 6 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>12 (19.6%)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS1 (Grade 5 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>fewer than 5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>SCS2 (Grade 3 equivalent)</p></td><td><p>fewer than 5</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The Department has had success in attracting a diverse workforce at delegated grades (AO-G6 equivalent), and in particular our representation of BAME staff is one of the highest in government. Our priority is now to ensure we are representative at the most senior levels of the department focusing on processes such as talent, development, attraction and recruitment, as well as continuing to build an inclusive culture that celebrates uniqueness. These figures are based entirely on people identifying themselves as BAME on the Department’s HR system.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 24/07/2019 10:09:22 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
