The rate of change in these systems means specific remedies are premature. Organisations and decision-makers should use tools that detect and mitigate bias before, during, and after a system deployment. For example, Algorithmic Impact Assessments [footnote 102] are questionnaires that help raise fairness risks before a system is used. There are also now myriad technical tools that can be used to inspect data, models, and outputs for bias. [footnote 103] The government and organisations need to stay up to date with the rapidly advancing field of fairness, accountability, and transparency [footnote 104] in automated decision systems. This paper reminds us that those who have been continually failed are found in PRUs and AP and that their segregation is a damning indictment of a planned education malaise, which has been designed and deployed on a specific section of society with a history of resistance and rebellion.”

A typical full-time consultant’s job plan will have 10 programmed activities. Additional programme activity (PA) can be paid to those undertaking additional clinical/service commitments.

We all heave mental health problems – people’s mental health will go up and down in life – and having poor mental health for a time isn’t something that should be criticised or stigmatised.

[footnote 41] For this reason, pay gaps, on whatever grounds, do not necessarily represent unequal pay for equal work, but can describe the structure of an organisation and how different ethnic groups are distributed across its pay bands.This is to protect people’s confidentiality and because the numbers involved are too small to make reliable generalisations. The ethnic groups used in the data Reviewing education policies over the last four decades, Perera says police officers placed in schools and other surveillance methods lead to working-class multiracial youth living on estates in London being framed as “suspects”.

How could we ensure automated hiring systems hire for talent and talent only? First, we must have 2 hard conversations. What do we mean by talent? And what does it mean to be fair to it?

The programme, due to be launched in September 2021, will be delivered by a consortium of key city employers led by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool. Through a series of development modules (such as leadership development programme, mentoring and action learning sets), it will seek to develop and create a diverse talent pipeline in Liverpool. Participating employers support the programme by sponsoring participants’ fees, promoting career opportunities, contributing to modules, providing mentoring and committing to embedding diversity at all levels, among other things. This programme was developed in partnership with the successful model created by Bristol City Council’s ‘Stepping Up’ initiative, [footnote 67] a locally driven public-private collaboration to advance representation. I really hope it gets resolved today because it’s the weekend, and I do have plans this evening and tomorrow,” he added. The data measures the percentage of people from different ethnic groups who work in particular types of occupation. It includes people who are employed and self-employed.

Reported ethnicity pay data should be disaggregated by different ethnicities to provide the best information possible. The pay gaps, once identified, should be reviewed to gain an understanding of why they exist in different organisations. In her review, Dame Carol came up with 10 recommendations to make work healthier, many of which have produced some clear results. The universities that would be considered to take part in the pilot will be those who would benefit most from an increased endowment that would: 1) bolster their offer of support to aspiring entrepreneurs; and 2) further enable them to nurture entrepreneurial talent. These processes are challenging to nail down and then to police, given their informal nature, but more broadly, the NHS recognises that there are problematic disparities which impact the experience, wellbeing and health outcomes of staff themselves, as well as their career progression, and the performance of the Trusts in which they work.
