Question

What impact has the data breach had on the loss of staff from minority and diverse backgrounds? Can you outline data for: 

1. Number of females, Catholics, BME staff and officers who resigned their post citing the data breach as the reason for doing so? 

2. Number of females, Catholics, BME staff and officers who have opted for voluntary redundancy, where offered, citing the data breach as the reason for doing so? 

Answer

From the completed exit interviews, 8 individuals cited ‘Data Breach’ as being influential in their reasons for resigning from the organisation. This figure is collated from those individuals who have chosen to complete an exit interview as this is not a mandatory requirement. 

This figure consists of: 

1 x male officer 

4 x male staff 

3 x female staff 

We are unable to determine the community background of individuals from the information provided in the exit interviews.
