answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>Higher education institutions (HEIs) are independent, autonomous bodies and are entirely responsible for the recruitment, promotion and retention of their staff. Universities, like other employers, are subject to the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and must ensure they do not discriminate in their recruitment practices. Universities are also required to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty and take a proactive approach to advancing equality of opportunity.</p><p>I understand that employer and employee representative organisations are taking action to address issues of equality in the higher education sector workforce. The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) through the Equality Challenge Unit and in other ways, works with the higher education (HE) sector to support activities to address issues of representation both in the HE workforce and student population.</p> answering member constituency Havant answering member printed Mr David Willetts question first answered 17/06/2014 13:13:57 answering member 53 label Biography information for Lord Willetts

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p>To win the global race we need the best civil servants regardless of their background so we must recruit, retain and promote on the basis of merit. We want to see more talented people, whatever their background, reach the very top roles.<br> <br> There has been for many years a majority of women in the Civil Service but this was not reflected into the Senior Civil Service.</p><p> </p><p>Although there has been a small increase in the proportion of women in the Senior Civil Service since 2010, and in the proportion of civil servants who declare that they are from an ethnic minority background, there is still much to do. <br> <br> We know that for too long talent management in the Civil Service has been weak. That's why I have commissioned research to examine the blockages preventing women from reaching the most senior levels of the Civil Service.<br> <br> A plan to address these issues will be published this summer.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Mr Francis Maude grouped question UIN 199924 199935 question first answered 16/06/2014 16:46:34 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham
