The 2024 staff equality statistical report covers UK higher education (HE) staff data for the academic year 2022-23. Due to a delay in receiving HESA's 2022-23 student record, we are not able to publish the Student report alongside the Staff report as we usually would. We will however, be launching new, interactive data dashboards with the student data as soon as possible in 2025.
This report presents a snapshot of a variety of sociodemographic characteristics of the HE workforce for the academic year 2022-23, also accounting for intersectional considerations. The main aim of this report is to highlight opportunities and challenges regarding the promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) for staff in UK HE.
Following three years of fluctuation, the number of staff employed in UK HE has reached similar levels to those reported in 2018-19, the last year for which HESA data returns for professional and support staff were mandatory for providers across the UK.
