Equalities Report | Page 41

41 Strategy, Performance and Planning Equality and Inclusion have been working with the Performance and Planning team to develop an Equality Dashboard so that Directorates have an overview of their student equality profile by dominant group programme. Data is currently available for disability, ethnicity, sex, age and SIMD categories for enrolment and early withdrawal, further withdrawal and outcomes. The Performance and Planning Team are currently developing systems to report on an increased range of protected characteristics including religion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment and care leaver in relation to retention and attainment. Directorates are provided with this data so that further analysis can be provided as part of the Team Evaluation process and key actions identified to support further development. Student Survey The College conducts bi-annual surveys to measure satisfaction on student experience. This survey is being further developed to ensure that satisfaction and student experience are measured by protected characteristic as well as by course and directorate.
