This report has three main elements: an overview of quantitative data relating to men and women mathematicians in UK HEIs; a summary of the working practices of mathematics departments; and case studies of a number of women mathematicians working in UK HEIs.
The majority of the report is devoted to giving the results of a survey of working practices in mathematics departments. A Good Practice Checklist was distributed to mathematics departments throughout the UK. The checklist contained 90 statements of practices, processes and arrangements, with which departments were asked to compare themselves. The statements were arranged under 30 benchmarks. Departments were also asked to describe briefly the working practices they had in place. Thirty departments returned the checklists. The report summarises the working practices found under each of the 90 statements, and provides examples of the good working practices found.
