Dear All,
I was wondering whether any of you had started monitoring on the grounds of sexual
orientation or religion or belief? I understand that there is no legal requirement to include
sexual orientation or religion in equal opportunities monitoring processes and it is unlikely
that the inclusion of sexual orientation or religion on an equal opportunities monitoring form
will give an accurate picture as many people will see such questions as a suspicious
invasion of privacy. Staff are under no obligation to provide such information and I knows its
a highly sensitive area.
Any advice would be very welcome!!
Best wishes
