DCMS is fully committed to ensuring diversity in all public appointments. In the first two quarters of 2016/17, 50% of new DCMS appointments went to women and 18% to BAME candidates.<\/p>
<\/p>
The DCMS public appointments team are always working to find ways to attract a wider pool of talent and to meet - and exceed - diversity targets. The team works closely with the Cabinet Office to identify potential barriers and has put in place a number of actions to overcome them - including bespoke advertising plans for each appointment campaign, targeting under-represented groups, and outreach events such as one aimed at women being equally represented on public sector boards.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4070", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matt Hancock"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Suffolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Matt Hancock"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-12-15T11:29:29.01Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-12-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport: Public Appointments"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to support and promote the recommendations of the Parker Review on increasing the ethnic diversity of UK boards in appointments for which her Department is responsible.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1463", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Watson of Wyre Forest"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Bromwich East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tom Watson"} ], "uin" : "56865"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/436187", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/436187/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
DCMS encourages applications from candidates with the widest range of backgrounds. We work closely with Cabinet Office to identify potential barriers to appointments, and put in place a number of actions to overcome them.<\/p>
The following statistics are a breakdown of new appointments made by DCMS. Candidates are not required to answer questions about gender, race, sexual orientation or disability - many do not. The stats provided are for candidates who have chosen to disclose this information. Therefore this data is only a snapshot and cannot be used as an accurate representation of our diversity statistics.<\/p>
