All higher education institutions submitting to REF 2021 were required to conduct equality impact assessments (EIAs) on their policies and processes for identifying staff and outputs for submission.

The purpose of the EIA at Sheffield Hallam University was to identify imbalances of certain characteristics between staff included in the University's REF 2021 submission, relative to the total eligible pool of staff.

Results Overview

• Female staff make up 47% of our REF 2021 submission, compared with 41% in 2014.
• Our submission is comprised of 15% BME staff, compared with 8% in 2014.
