Our annual Workforce Diversity Profile has been published for 2024. The report highlights our workforce as of June 2024 and provides valuable insight into the diversity of our organisation.

Our workforce

From this report we can see our workforce includes 5.8% of colleagues who have chosen to stay employed with us for over 25 years - something we will continually celebrate.

The average age of a Cambridgeshire County Council colleague is 46 years old, and 76% of our colleagues are female. 171 colleagues took either maternity, paternity or adoption leave or shared parental leave within this period.

Comparing the workforce data to last year shows:

• Disclosure rates have increased for Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Religion or Religious Belief in 2024, compared to 2023.
• The male/female split remains roughly the same.
• A slight increase in the proportion of Minority ethnic employees (Other ethnic group, Mixed or multiple ethnic group, Black, Black British, Caribbean or African, and Asian or Asian British).
