Level 7
Assessment title: TC1 Response to a live employer brief

The Assessment Task

Race is one of the protected characteristics in the Equality Act (2010) and with Black Lives Matter protests dominating headlines, addressing issues around race, ethnicity and culture in the UK has become a necessity for the government. These issues are aligned to the structures of the British society, which continue to disadvantage Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME). You work as a consultant for Mac Darwin solution limited, a data analysis firm and you have been requested by the line manager to conduct a detailed investigation on one of the problems experienced by the BAME population in the UK for a local newspaper. Using a government-based data set, you will devise a 2000-words report that provides insight on one of the problems experienced by the BAME population in the UK.

You can select any one of the problems from the following list:

  1. BAME Attainment gap in British higher education
  2. Understanding the impact of coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on BAME groups
  3. Barriers to BAME employees' employment and progression in your workplace
  4. Ethnicity pay gaps in Great Britain
  5. Racial discrimination in UK housing

You will use secondary data for your investigation, and this can be found online from trusted data bases (i.e. ONS). Your data will be analysed using statistical packages (i.e. SPSS) or a qualitative data analysis package such as NVIVO and be visualised for easier interpretation. You will be required to support your data set with insight from other selected information sources and to present this in a form appropriate for a specialist and not specialist audience. You have been given 72h to complete this task.

Your report should cover the following points

  • A brief review of the literature on the topic selected
  • Review of the appropriate Data Sets
  • Insight from Data Analysis using a statistical package (i.e. SPSS/NVIVO)
  • Visualisation of Data Insights using any data visualisation tool (i.e. Excel or Tableau).
  • Evidence of training completed on LinkedIn learning (SPSS, Tableau & NVIVO certificates provided in appendix) [15% of overall mark]

This should be a clear and visual presentation that uses your graphs and visual interpretations to highlight how insights are gained and evaluated.
