The Department publishes pupil attainment in a number of headline and additional measures for England, including for pupils with hearing impairment. These figures can be compared to the national average for all pupils. At a regional and local authority level, the Department publishes these figures for pupils with and without Special Educational Needs (SEN); figures for pupils with hearing impairments are included within these but they are not published separately due to the level of suppression that would be required.<\/p>

Public appointments are made on merit, following a fair, open, and transparent competition, regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments and in accordance with the Cabinet Office Governance Code for Public Appointments.<\/p>

<\/p>

Ministers are provided with information about the diversity, skills and experience of the existing board at the start of each public appointments recruitment campaign.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Public Appointments Diversity Action Plan published in December 2017 sets out our ambition that by 2022, 50% of public appointees should be female, and 14% of all public appointments should be from ethnic minorities.<\/p>

<\/p>

Bearing in mind the Public Sector Equality duty, board vacancies are promoted through a variety of channels, many of which are targeted specifically at underrepresented groups.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Governance Code states that political activity should not affect any judgement of merit nor be a bar to appointment.<\/p>
