As part of the application process, we would really like you to provide some personal information about yourself. This will help us get a better understanding of whether we are attracting diverse candidates to our vacancies.
This is really important to us as we care about being inclusive. Critical incidents can happen at any time, anywhere to anyone and so it’s important we are diverse in our make-up and in our thinking.
We are asking every candidate to complete this Equality and Diversity section as part of the application process. We will not use the information you provide during the recruitment process itself. The questions you answer will not affect our decision making around who we appoint, as this form will not be visible to those shortlisting or making recruitment decisions.
We also understand if you would prefer not to complete this section, but we really hope you will.
We recognise that you may feel some of the questions are too personal and we have, therefore, included an option in most questions for you to select ‘prefer not to say’. You do not have to complete all of this form, but it will help us improve our services if you can complete as much as possible and return the form. This survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
All information RCUK/ALSG collects around equality and diversity will be treated confidentially in accordance with Data Protection Law and will be stored as anonymous data by RCUK/ALSG.
Access to this information will be restricted to staff involved in the processing and monitoring of this data. It will be used to provide statistical information only.
