Due to small numbers, some of the grades have been grouped as follows: ‘AA/AO’ includes AAP, AA and AO, ‘SEO’ includes SEO and SEO+, and ‘Grade 7’ includes Grade 7 and Grade 7 Lawyers.

The percentages presented in this report have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Categories with fewer than 10 employees have been grouped for data protection and are shown in the graphs as ‘Undisclosed’.

Employees who chose not to declare a protected characteristic or did not provide any response are included in the graphs under the category named ‘Unknown’.
