15. Disciplinary procedures
Data source
Resource Management.
Time period and availability
Latest data covers the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013.
What does this tell us?
The data presented here show the percentage of employees who have been subject to formal disciplinary procedures against their status in relation to each of the following protected characteristics: age; disability; ethnicity; and gender. For ease of comparison the tables include a column illustrating the relevant headcount breakdown taken from Section 14.
These results show a declining trend in the percentage disciplined by age group up to 64. Please note that the volumes in the 16-24 and 65 and above age groups are too small to draw valid conclusions. The volumes not declared in respect of ethnic minority and disabled protected groups are also such that it is not possible to draw conclusions regarding percentage differences.
Comparing the figures with the 2012 report indicates that broadly the percentage has declined across age groups, gender and overall. The ethnic minority, disabled and female groups all have results close to those reported last year. However, the differences in all such comparison volumes are too small to interpret as indicating significant changes.
How will an improvement be shown?
Generally the similarity of this indicator in a protected and non-protected group will indicate equivalent behaviour. However, this will require a reasonably complete declaration rate and sufficiently large volumes to be precise.
