Equality and diversity monitoring

We ask you to help us in becoming a more inclusive organisation by completing the equality and diversity monitoring form.

The monitoring form is kept separate from the application form.  The information you provide is strictly confidential and will not be taken into account when deciding your suitability for the post you have applied for.

The monitoring process allows us to make sure that we are not discriminating unfairly and to measure how well our equality and diversity policy is working.  It shows us where we can make improvements to ensure our workplace is reflective of the wider community.
