Barts Health Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessment Report

Barts Health Equality and Human Rights Impact Assessment Report4.1.3 EthnicityTables 3.1.3a, b, and c (appendix C) show that the three Trusts used different groupings tocategorise ethnicity. In figure 4.1.3a, below, data is shown under the broadest availablecategories. With Whipps Cross in particular, the number of promotions within the period isrelatively low (Whipps Cross n=47) making distributions volatile. Bearing this in mind, it isperhaps safest to note only that promotions within Trusts are broadly in line with workforceprofiles.Figure 4.1.3a: Promotions by ethnicity (broad categories)(all Trusts)Figure 4.1.3b over the page shows promotions against narrower ethnic categories withinBarts and the London and Newham. At Barts and the London, the most promotions occurredin the White ethnic category (38%), while at Newham it appears that the largest number ofpromotions occurred in the Black African category (27%). Within both Trusts a significantproportion of promotions were in the White Other category.Bangladeshi staff at Barts and the London did not receive the number of promotions thatmight be expected given the Trust profile. At Newham, White staff are underrepresented inthe promotion statistics.67
