Overview of recruitment by black and minority ethnic groups (BME) – 2000 to 2009

Staff Monitoring graph

Footnote to Table 2: RBK uses an external response handler to provide the data on applicants for jobs in Table 2. Please note that there have been quality control issues for the 2006/7, 2007/8 & 2008/9 data received where a substantial proportion of applicants backgrounds were not classified, therefore the sample has been restricted to known backgrounds. As a result it is likely that applicants from BME backgrounds are under-represented in the 2006 /7, 2007/8 & 2008/9 figures.
