Staff ethnicity indicates that the majority of staff identify as white Scottish (70.81%) with around 1%
from the ethnic minority community. Although this indicates that staff diversity could be higher,
this profile reflects the local Ayrshire population (of which the majority of staff reside). Further work
in relation to attracting staff from a wider diversity of backgrounds is ongoing.
The Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic populations of Ayrshire can be difficult to ascertain at any
one time due to migration to and from these areas however information from the last census
estimates that the BME population of Ayrshire is 0.9% (Scottish Government, 2005). Therefore, this
figure of 1% is broadly equivalent with the local populations which the College serves.
