Dataset Details
Happier, Healthier Professionals: Increasing Diversity - England
Published by Office for National Statistics
Description
The data available is what was collected for this project which consisted of two online experiments which made up part of What Works for Children’s Social Care’s (WWCSC) Happier Healthier Professionals (HHP) programme. Participants were qualified social workers, including managers and senior leaders. Data was collected through a Qualtrics survey platform. The first experiment aimed to build upon research which showed that participants were more likely to fairly assess the abilities of others, rather than being influenced by negative gender stereotypes, if they evaluate their qualifications directly alongside an alternative non-stereotyped candidate rather than in isolation. WWCSC collected data from the intervention project aimed at understanding whether any difference was found in the evaluation of non-white candidates for a social work managerial position in the joint evaluation condition. In the second experiment, WWCSC tested the effect of ‘blinding’ CVs (removing information which could be used to infer that a candidate was non-white) on the likelihood they are selected for the next round of a recruitment process.
