IOT EDI Survey

In order for the IOT to effectively monitor and ensure that we are open to all sections of the community, we have designed a Diversity Questionnaire with the intention of having a separate, confidential record of information about the protected characteristics within the Equality Act 2010 listed below:

• Age
• Disability
• Gender
• Race – this includes ethnic or national origins, colour or nationality
• Religion or belief – this includes non-belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation

To assist us in this, it would be helpful if you would take the time to complete this questionnaire in full. Please ensure that you include your name and position within your work environment. This should only take 2 minutes to complete.

The information contained in this questionnaire will be treated as confidential and will be used for monitoring purposes only. This information will not be seen by any person not involved in our EDI data collection.

The Data Protection Act 1998 gives rights to individuals in respect of personal data held about them by others and as directed by the Act, you should know the following:

The IOT is the Data Controller and is registered with the Information Commissioner for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA).

The diversity information you provide will enable the IOT to monitor the effectiveness of our EDI Policy and meet our legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010. Effective monitoring is an important tool for measuring performance and progress towards equality, diversity and inclusion goals and in ensuring a truly inclusive environment.

This information is only used for research and statistical analysis.

EDI information is defined as “sensitive”. It is not mandatory to supply “sensitive” information, but should you do so it will not affect you in any way.

The information you give will be held on electronic systems by the IOT.
