Staffing and equality

Information, data and intelligence on equality and diversity in North Tyneside

Equalities information for North Tyneside Council employees

This set of information contains the Equalities Information Reports, Pay Policy Statement and associated data for North Tyneside Council's employees, including data required by the Transparency Code 2015.

Employees include permanent, temporary, casual and sessional workers, but exclude school based employees, which will be published separately.

Data accuracy:

Some of the data for employees is provided to the council on a voluntary basis, if an employee decides not to provide this data it is shown on the data sheets as undeclared. Some staff do not have access to the Business Management System but are required to complete a Council Data Collection Questionnaire every 3 years to ensure the system is updated via the Council's Employee Resources Service within Human Resources.

(The data contained in the reports is subject to roundings to protect identities in respect of the Data Protection Act.)
