Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Monitoring Form

Information for those completing the form

Why are we asking for equality information?

We collect equality information to help us to plan and deliver effective services and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

What do we do with equality information?

We use equality information for a range of purposes, including to help us to:

·         protect and promote your rights and interests;

·         promote equality objectives across our services;

·         identify and address our customers’ needs, and improve our services; and

·         identify and eliminate any form of discrimination.

Do you need to answer every question?

By answering as many questions as possible you will help us meet your needs better, but we provide options throughout this form to allow you to provide only the information you want to give us.  You can complete some questions and not others or you can complete parts of questions.  The form has space for you to tell us more about your needs if you want. 

We may ask for some information in other forms where this is required by law. For example, where we need to know your age if you are applying for a home as only those over 16 years old can be registered on our housing list.

How do we process your equality information?

We process equality information strictly in line with data protection law, including by:

·         processing your equality data confidentially;

·         restricting access only to relevant staff members;

·         retaining equality information only as long as necessary;

·         sharing data only as lawfully permitted; and

·         destroying data securely.

Who do we gather equality information about?

We gather equality information from:

·         people who apply for a home;

·         tenants;

·         people who apply for a job with us;

·         our employees;

·         board and committee members; and

·         elected members (in case of local authorities)
