It is always interesting when someone thinks through an issue and goes against conventional wisdom/practice as a result.
Presumably it is not obligatory that applicants complete that part of the form and they suffer no detriment if they don't complete
it.

Thank you for the feedback Richard, if I am the 'unspecified' one then let me be clear. Our monitoring is integral to the
application form, not tear off or detached. We take the view that much EO information can be gleaned from the form any way,
recruiting panels should be engaging positively with difference, it should be up front, and that the argument that the process
must have been fair as the monitoring was removed can be specious. Berry

Dear All,
Thanks to those who responded to my query. The results are as follows:
12 responses received from HEIs
11/12 have a separate or tear-off monitoring section (6 separate, 4 tear-off, 1 unspecified)
11/12 return all applications to a central HR function ( 1 excludes
weekly)
The one that does not return all apps centrally requires the receiving dep't to complete a detailed summary of the applicant
profiles.
Hope that is of interest - it gives a clear indication of how the sector is approaching this crucial function.
