Gender Equality. In accordance with article 3, 3 ° of the law of January 12, 2007 “Gender Mainstreaming”, public procurement must take into account the possible differences between women and men (the gender dimension). The successful tenderer must therefore analyse according to the field concerned by the contract, whether there are differences between women and men. In carrying out the contract, he must therefore take account of the differences noted. Communication must combat sexist stereotypes in terms of message, image and language, and take account of the different situations between women and men in the target audience.
Gender Equality. All College recruitment is undertaken on an open and non-gender specific basis, with overall student recruitment reflecting the gender balance within the population as a whole. Within this, however, the College recognises that there remains a clear gender split within certain curriculum areas. This is especially marked within Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subject areas and Personal Care subjects such as Hairdressing/Beauty and Care. Analysis and actions in respect of gender equality are detailed within our published Gender Action Plan, and these actions and outcomes are an integrated feature of this Outcome Agreement. Our current most gender segregated curricular areas are outlined below and priority work will focus on improving the gender balance within these areas. Building Services 0.4% 0.0% 99.6% 0.0% 100.0% Engineering 4.8% 0.1% 95.0% 0.1% 100.0% Construction and Technology 5.4% 0.1% 94.5% 0.0% 100.0% Computing and Creative Media 12.6% 0.0% 87.1% 0.3% 100.0% Retail and Events 75.9% 0.0% 24.1% 0.0% 100.0% Health and Social Care 90.6% 0.2% 9.1% 0.1% 100.0% Hair, Beauty and Complementary Therapies 96.5% 0.0% 3.5% 0.0% 100.0% Through the course of this agreement the College will take steps to support and prioritise atypical recruitment in segregated subject areas and will work in partnership with our schools to promote awareness raising and senior phase activity that directly addresses gender segregation in the curriculum. The College has also published a Gender Pay Analysis and Action Plan. This plan highlights a reduction in the gender pay gap evident across the College (to 6.3%) and confirms the gender balance on the Board of Management and the gender profile of senior postholders. The Gender Pay Action plan outlines steps being taken to further improve pay equality. The current gender split in respect of the most senior (Executive) roles is 57% male based on a team of 7. Across the full academic and support management team of the College this split is 40.5% male and 59.5% female, mirroring the overall staff gender split. The College monitors closely the participation (and mainstreaming) of learners from protected characteristic groups and publishes detailed statistics biennially. Our analysis of equalities data within our Mainstreaming Report shows that the broad distribution of protected characteristic groups within our student population matches the distribution found within the wider population of Dundee and Angus. The College i...
Gender Equality. All College recruitment is undertaken on an open and non-gender specific basis, with overall student recruitment reflecting the gender balance within the population as a whole. Within this, however, the College recognises that there remains a clear gender split across a range of curriculum areas. This is especially marked within Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subject areas and Personal Care subjects such as Hairdressing/Beauty and Care. Analysis and actions in respect of gender equality are detailed within our published Gender Action Plan, and these actions and outcomes are an integrated feature of this Outcome Agreement. Work has progressed under our Gender Action Plan to reduce gender segregation within the curriculum and to provide positive opportunities for non-traditional participation within subject areas. Sustaining change through this work continues to be challenging, with learner recruitment closely matching application rates across all subject areas, and reflecting subject choice decisions made by school pupils in S2 or earlier. To influence this, the College has expanded activities and engagement with younger school pupils to promote alternate careers and study opportunities. Developments in respect of the gender split across those academic areas with gender segregation of >75% for session 2018/19 is as follows. Curriculum Areas >75% male enrolments Building Services 0.4% 23.1% +22.7% Engineering 4.8% 5.5% +0.7% Construction and Technology 5.4% 16.6% +11.2% Computing and Creative Media 12.6% 14.0% +1.4% Curriculum Areas >75% female enrolments Retail and Events 24.1% 22.7% -1.4% Health and Social Care 9.1% 12.9% +3.8% Hair, Beauty and Complementary Therapies 3.5% 7.1% +3.6% To further support change, the College adopted contextualised recruitment arrangements in 2019/20 to increase conversion rates for applicants in curriculum areas where a gender imbalance is evident. Equality analysis highlights consistency of successful learner outcomes irrespective of gender or other protected characteristic. Outcomes for minority gender learners within the above areas are strongly positive and in line with successful outcomes for other learner groups. Through the course of this agreement, the College will continue to support and prioritise atypical recruitment in segregated subject areas and will continue to work strategically with our school and other partners to promote greater awareness raising and expand the offer of senior phase, br...
Gender Equality. 39.1 In carrying out his/her obligations in pursuance of this contract, the tenderer shall ensure the application of the principle of gender equality and shall thus ’inter alia’ refrain from discriminating on the grounds of gender, marital status or family responsibilities. Tenderers are to ensure P R E V I E W that these principles are mainfest in the organigram of the company where the principles aforementioned, including the selection criteria for access to all jobs or posts, at all levels of the occupation hierarchy are amply proven. In this document words importing one gender shall also include the other gender.
Gender Equality. All College recruitment is undertaken on an open and non-gender specific basis, with overall student recruitment reflecting the gender balance within the population as a whole. Within this, however, the College recognises that there remains a clear gender split within certain curriculum areas. This is especially marked within Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subject areas and Personal Care subjects such as Hairdressing/Beauty and Care. Based on a three year trend analysis the subject areas within the College where the gender inequality in enrolments are greater than the national averages are: Building/Construction Operations – 98.4% enrolments male (96% nationally) Engineering/Technology (general) - 94.0% enrolments male (90% nationally) Mechanical Engineering – 96.8% enrolments male (93% nationally) Hair/Personal Care Services – 95.9% enrolments female (96% nationally) Construction (general) – 97.6% enrolments male (95% nationally) Recruitment analysis of these areas highlights that overall recruitment outcomes reflect enquiry and application rates, and the College is aware that, in the majority of cases, subject decisions are made in advance of contact with the College being made. This is recognised as a long-term trend, and the College (and the two legacy colleges) have previously undertaken a broad range of activities to develop awareness and encourage interest in “non-traditional” subject routes. This has included extensive partnership work with our local schools, and the creation of specific curriculum projects (such as Women into Construction). The College has been successful in accessing consultancy support for the period November 2015 – June 2017 from the Equalities Challenge Unit. This support is being used to research gender based subject choices at different stages through the learner journey (school and College) to inform senior phase curriculum provision, mainstream curriculum design, and student recruitment/marketing approaches that are designed to have greatest impact on learner opportunities and choices. Work undertaken to date has highlighted a number of potential “pinch-points” and barriers to progression and further work will be undertaken understand and address these barriers. Planned outcomes from this work are included within the activity plan section of this agreement. Marketing and school link taster activities will continue be used to support the promotion of College and career opportunities to future st...
