Under Regulation 16 of Statutory Rule 1999 No 148. Fair Employment (Monitoring) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999, it is an offence for the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) to disclose information about the determination of the community background to which any individual employee belongs. To provide a breakdown of the nine individual staff grades in the SEUPB by community background could identify the background of individuals, as the numbers involved in some cases are very small. However, a listing of the SEUPB’s grading structure has been provided, together with a breakdown of the community background of staff located in the SEUPB’s Belfast and Omagh offices by standard occupational classification (SOC) group. The community background of staff within the SEUPB by SOC group at the date of the last annual monitoring return to the Equality Commission on 1 January 2006 is provided above.
