The number of staff working within my Department who have disclosed a disability in each of the years 1 January 2015 to 2019 is set out in the accompanying table. Data for 2020 is currently being collated in line with the statutory annual return to the National Disability Authority.
| - | % of Staff who self-declared a Disability | Total No. of Staff who self-declared a Disability |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 5.3% | 11 |
| 2016 | 4.1% | 8 |
| 2017 | 4.6% | 10 |
| 2018 | 5.4% | 12 |
| 2019 | 4.3% | 10 |
As the responses to the disability census are anonymous and voluntary, it does not distinguish between full-time or part-time roles.
