Hi Mari
Thanks for this.
I am sending the proposed EO monitoring form that I hope to use for new
applicants.
The purpose of this is to scan it on an OMR system. So anything has to be
pencilled into record the data.
The Religion and Belief categories have even selected as the 7 largest
groups under the last census.
Plus non belief. I also discussed this with the Chaplain.
While we are adding "other" we won't actually record these as numbers will
be very small.. Unless we start to notice larger numbers coming through.
All the best
Lesley

Lesley,
We have piloted collecting sexual orientation data. By just introducing
the monitoring, without significantly changing the information sheets
that are sent to explain why we are monitoring, or doing any other
prepartory work, we achieved a completion rate of around 50% - much
higher than I'd expected. We're now focusing on improving the
information sheet, and on making sure that the rest of the form is well
written (getting the right options for categories of sexual orientation,
ammending the 'marital status' monitoring).
We're considering whether to monitor religion and belief, and I'd really
like to hear from anyone who has done this.

Hi
Is anyone collecting data on Sexual Orientation and Religion and
Belief.? or know of other institutions that are?
I am looking to set up a scanning system for monitoring forms but need
to link these to the Trent system. It would be helpful to know if there
is a demand for this.
Please reply off line.
Thanks
