All NHS Trust Leaders are required to sign up to a strategy designed to support local NHS trusts in their implementation of the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) and to meet the aspirations of increasing black and minority ethnic (BME) representation at senior levels across the NHS. This strategy will support local NHS Trusts to develop and refine their existing WRES

Action Plans.This strategic approach will help NHS trusts to meet the workforce race equality commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan the Interim NHS People Plan as outlined in the national WRES

Model Employer strategy.

About Workforce Race Equality Standards (WRES)

In 2014, NHS England and the NHS Equality and Diversity Council agreed action to ensure employees from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds have equal access to career opportunities and receive fair treatment in the workplace. It was agreed that a Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) should be developed, and in April 2015 it was made available to the NHS. All NHS organisations including CCGs, Trusts and CSUs as well as national organisations are encouraged to implement the WRES in an open and transparent way. This will help to show the national, clinical and commissioning workforce.

“We know that care is far more likely to meet the needs of all the patients we’re here to serve when NHS leadership is drawn from diverse communities across the country, and when all our frontline staff are themselves free from discrimination. These new mandatory standards will help NHS organisations

to achieve these important goals.”

Simon Stevens, Chief Executive NHS England

5‘Corby and Nene CCGs working together for Northamptonshire’

ForewordNHS Nene CCG and NHS Corby CCG (the CCGs’) are committed to ensuring that diversity and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do in the CCGs’ and to seek assurance from our providers that they do the same to meet the contractual requirements in relation to the Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) and Equality Delivery System (EDS2).

There is robust evidence for the effectiveness of having an ambition that is based upon commitment of specific goals, monitored by frequent feedback. BME leadership representation across the NHS has shown signs of improvement since the introduction of the WRES, there is a clear need for further accelerated improvement. Aspirational goals to increase BME representation at leadership levels and across the workforce pipeline will reinforce the existing WRES programme of work.

Many organisations and part of the NHS are already setting aspirational goals for a number of WRES Indicators. Issues of the lack of leadership representation apply as much to the clinical workforce as they do to the non-clinical workforce. Whilst the next part of the WRES strategy focuses upon representation across the Agenda for Change (AfC) bandings, this strategy approach will apply to those NHS staff that do not fall under the Agenda for Change model.

This recommended model will align with the timeframe announced by the government on this aspiration for the public sector, it is in line with the timeframe for the NHS Long Term Plan and Interim NHS People Plan and is the basis upon which this strategy is informed for the current WRES programme of work across the NHS.

This WRES report sets out the CCGs’ performance information against the nine mandatory NHS Workforce Race Equality Standard (WRES) metrics. Since inception, the CCGs’ have adopted the EDS2 and now we are publishing the WRES report. But publishing reports is one part of the ‘due regard’ it’s about our commitment to ensuring we are inclusive in our service delivery and that our staff reflect the communities we serve.

NHS Corby CCG and NHS Nene CCG have a long standing history of collaborative working, and since 2018-19 the two CCGs have made significant good progress in moving towards a joint operating model. Earlier in 2019 the CCGs agreed to finalise the appointment to a joint Corporate Management Team (CMT) and a single Lay Member structure with the aim to remove duplication of roles and responsibilities and create efficiencies in operational working. The CCGs will continue to build on this during 2019-20 as we explore the move to a single commissioning organisation for Northamptonshire.

The report covers the CCGs’ workforce profile, staff survey, and Board composition by ethnicity. The report also details the calculations and analyses results against each Indicator metric withrecommendations for improvements where appropriate. The report will be published as an internal document following approval by the Joint Quality Committee in August 2019 and the new requirement for NHSE WRES Data Submission will be submitted by 30 August 2019.

Key highlightsWhere numbers / respondents are fewer than 11, to protect confidentiality / anonymity these numbers will appear as ( ‘ – ‘ )Overall 96% of staff reported their ethnicity as at 31 March 2019. This remains the same as the previous year BME staff has increased by 1% on the previous year. The disclosure rate has fluctuated year on year (2016, 13%; 2017, 10%)Indicator 1: There is a decrease of 2% for BME staff in AfC Bands 1-7 compared to the previous year and an increase of 4% for BME staff in AfC Bands 8A-9Indicator 2: White candidates when shortlisted are 1.72 times more likely to be appointed to roles than BME candidates. This is a significant decrease on the previous year where Nene CCG alone reported this as 2.26 times more likely to appointedIndicator 3: Whilst there are small numbers of staff entering the formal disciplinary process, 2018-19 data shows that White staff are more likely than BME staff to enter the formal disciplinary processIndicator 4: Currently a process is not in place to record Non-Mandatory Training by Ethnicity this will be addressed through this 2018-19 WRES Report Action Plan for implementation in 2019-20Indicator 5-6: The CCGs’ have undertaken a Local versus the National NHS Staff Survey in 2018-19 therefore it has not been possible to compare with previous years’ resultsIndicator 7-8: The CCGs’ have undertaken a Local versus the National NHS Staff Survey in 2018-19 therefore it has not been possible to compare with previous years’ resultsIndicator 9: Currently Nene and Corby CCGs Governing Body Members at 22% BME is over-representative by +11% of its workforce (11% BME) and the BME populations served (8.5%)

What is the data telling us?• Table 1 shows results disaggregated (*where available) by Banding for Nene CCG and Corby CCG. For Nene CCG Bands 1-7, the proportion of BME Staff has decreased by 4%

in 2018-19; for Corby CCG in 2018-19 BME represent 50% of staff in Bands 1-7• In the same period for Nene CCG BME Staff at Band 8a-VSM has increased by 3% and for Corby Band 8 – 9 is 25% with 0% at VSM level• Nene and Corby CCGs’ combined in 2018-19 shows an overall representation at Bands 1-7 of 88% White, 8% BME and 4% not disclosed. At Band 8A-VSM this is 82% White,

14% BME and 5% not disclosed• Table 2 shows results aggregated for both Nene and Corby CCGs’. Over the last year 2017-18 to 2018-19 the number of BME staff in post has increased resulting in a slight

increased aggregate representation of 1%. White staff in post has also increased however there is a slight decreased aggregate representation by 1% overall• The number of staff who have not disclosed their ethnicity has increased by (n=1) over the past year but proportionately remains unchanged at 4% for aggregated results• Table 3 shows results for Nene CCG 2017-18 compared with 2018-19 aggregated results for both Nene and Corby CCGs’. This shows that for White Staff there is an increase

of 1% for Bands 1-7 and a 3% decrease for Bands 8A-9/VSM however it should be noted that for 2018-19 the data is disaggregated by Bands 1-7, 8A-9 and VSM therefore an accurate comparison of this Indicator outcome may not be possible

• Table 1 and Table 3 it must be noted that for 2017-18 results reflect Nene CCG since WRES data for this period was available to the Commissioning Support Unit (CSU), Corby CCG began receiving CSU support for completion of WRES data from the period 2018-19

• Where possible and data available for both Nene & Corby CCGs’, Substantive Staff has been aggregated by Ethnicity

What have we done over the last year? • 2016-17 was a baseline year of collection of data for Nene CCG however the threshold for publication of 150 staff was not met • Understood that small numbers of staff exist within groups and therefore measures must be taken to balance maintaining anonymity with opportunities for learning from

WRES results and effecting change• Development of an appropriate Action Plan arising from 2017-18 and 2018-19 results is carried forward to 2019-20 for implementation

What are we planning for 2019-20? • This Report will now utilise 2017-18* and 2018-19 results to inform the 2019-20 Action Plan• Continue to monitor and review workforce demographics regularly and set appropriate/relevant improvement Key Performance Measures (KPI’s) aligned to e.g. NHS Long

Term Plan the Interim NHS People Plan and A Model Employer: Increasing black and minority ethnic representation at senior levels across the NHS

Relative likelihood of BME staff being appointed from shortlisting compared to that of white staff being appointed from shortlisting across all posts

Source: Recruitment activity 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019

What is the data telling us? • In disaggregated data for Nene CCG in 2018-19, White candidates

were 2.26* times more likely to be appointed from shortlisting than BME candidates (*figures rounded up/down – 0.15/0.07)

• In disaggregated data for Corby CCG in 2018-19 BME candidates are just as likely (0.00/0.33) as White candidates to be appointed from shortlisting

• Overall for Nene and Corby CCGs combined White candidates were 1.72* times more likely than BME candidates to be appointed from shortlisting (*figures rounded up/down – 0.149/0.081)

What have we done over the last year? • 2016-17 was the baseline year of collection of data however the

threshold for publication of 150 staff was not met • This Report will utilise any results from 2017-18 as a baseline to

inform development of an appropriate Action Plan arising from 2018-19 results with Action Planning carried forward to 2019-20 for implementation

What are we planning for 2019-20? • Continue to monitor recruitment and retention practices in order to

identify trends to further equalise the disproportion for BME candidates

Relative likelihood of staff entering the formal disciplinary process, as measured by entry into a formal disciplinary investigation (This indicator will be based on data from a two year rolling average of the current year and previous year)

Indicator 3:

Source: Disciplinary action data held by Human Resources 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019

What is the data telling us? • There were very few people entering the formal disciplinary

process and the number of formal disciplinary cases recorded was fewer than n=5 and are too small to identify any trends however, for 2018-19 of all CCGs’ formal disciplinary cases (n=<5 are represented by a ‘ – ‘ ), BME staff were less likely than White staff to enter the formal disciplinary process

What have we done over the last year?• Continued to monitor this indicator by ethnicity to identify

any trends over timeWhat are we planning for 2019-20?• Continue to monitor this indicator by ethnicity to identify

any trends over time• Utilise System resources and levers to inform development

and practices for delivery of ‘Aspirations at an Organisational Level’ e.g. A Fair Experience for All: Closing the ethnicity gap in rates of disciplinary action across the NHS workforce the NHS Long Term Plan and the Model Employer strategy
