Dear Siobhan,
Many thanks, this is very interesting and must have potential learning for us all with regard to why disclosure is so high in some institutions and so low in others.
As we started monitoring RB and SO this year, I will definitely investigate this from our institutional perspective – when I have a bit more time!
Thanks again and best wishes,
Moira

Dear All
We have been looking at sector level return rates and coverage of the new fields within the 2012-13 HESA record from English HEIs.
I’ve attached a document with the details but in essence, reporting of the information is concentrated in a few institutions.
For example, if you look at the student record for sexual orientation, 80 out of 122 institutions returned information for less than 10 per cent of their full-time undergraduate entrants while 24 returned the
information for more than 90 per cent.
Hope this is helpful.
Best wishes
Siobhan

Subject: RB and SO Questions on student enrolment forms
Hello all,
Clare Pavitt (Senior Policy Adviser at ECU) carried out a mini-survey in 2012 asking institutions whether HEI’s were collating and reporting on religion and belief and sexual orientation in terms of staff. She
received 20 responses, many of which indicated that the institution was either already monitoring students as well or was considering doing so in the near future.
Please could you let me know whether you are monitoring students in terms of religion and/or belief and sexual orientation and how you went about promoting this.
Kind Regards,
Vicci Jarman
Equality and Diversity Co-ordinator
