The Leeds City Region Diversity Dashboard is a project by the Leeds Inclusive Anchors Network.
Leeds Inclusive Anchors Network is a group of the city’s largest (mainly) public sector employers. They come together and focus on areas where they can make a difference for people as an employer, through procurement, through service delivery or as a civic partner.
The dashboard shows the number of people employed by the eight employers according to different diversity indicators, including: age, if people are carers, disability, ethnicity, gender, religion, socio-economic factors and sexuality.
The dashboard uses an agreed diversity data standard that uses current data collected by the network members, but also tries to map characteristics to existing national standards as much as possible so that comparisons can be made with national data sets.
There are currently eitght (8) organisations who publish data on the dashboard: Kelda Group Plc; Leeds Beckett University; Leeds College of Building; Leeds Trinity University; Leeds City Council; University of Leeds; Calderdale Council; and Leeds City College. The organisations employ a large number of people in Leeds between them, with Leeds City Council alone employing more than 14,000 people.
Other organisations are welcome to join.
