All of the gender pay gap data published by organisations, including the University of Portsmouth, is available on the government\u2019s reporting website: <a href=\"https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/<\/a>.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>It is crucial that employers use their gender pay gap data to identify the barriers to women\u2019s recruitment and progression and take action to break down those barriers. The government has published advice for employers on how to diagnose their gaps and develop an action plan, alongside evidence-based guidance on practical actions they can take to close the gap.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The higher education (HE) sector has been proactive in taking action to address the gender pay gap and the government is supportive of this work. We have seen considerable progress in the number of women in leadership positions in HE, for example, the increase in female vice-chancellors. This is largely down to the dedicated efforts by the sector to improve the progression of women, through programmes such as the Aurora development programme and the world-renowned Athena Swan Charter. I also look forward to the findings of the Independent Review of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, led by Professor Julia Buckingham, which we expect to see published in September.<\/p>"}
