The Equality Scheme set out 11 staff KPIs to increase the representation of disabled and racially minoritised staff in senior roles and in recruitment stages. Five of the 11 (45.5%) staff KPIs are on or above target. The remaining 6 are below target, with the largest gap from target coming from both KPIs relating to disabled staff at senior level and shortlisting.
