Pay Gap Reports
We are required by law to produce a gender pay gap report but as with gender, it is important for us to report on ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and religion as well, to show our commitment to progress equality, diversity and inclusion, and to drive changes within our University. This is the first time we are reporting on sexual orientation and religion.

How do we collect your data?
EDI data is collected via the employee self-service tool MyView, for staff, and My Manchester, for students. All information provided is confidential and not used in any other way.
Why do we analyse your data?
Data analysis directs and supports the work of the Directorate by monitoring progress against our EDI strategy.
Your data is analysed to monitor and review the effectiveness of some of our services, policies and processes that support staff and students
How do we use your data?
We use staff and student data about disability, gender, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation to help us to produce anonymous statistical reports such as the University Equality Information report and the Social Inclusion dashboard.
These inform our Annual Performance Review (APR) process which allows us to direct resources and monitor activities that take place to achieve the goals set out in Our future. The APR process also helps set equality-related key performance indicators for faculties and Professional services.
We also use this information to direct work around our EDI strategy and applications to charter marks such as Athena Swan, Race Equality Charter, Stonewall and the Disability Standard.
