Hi @Sport_England

The Diversity Monitoring part of your job application mentions the Equality Act 2010 then asks for 'Sex and gender reassignment' with the options 'Male', 'Female', 'Non-Binary' and 'If you prefer to use your own term, please state below'.

'Sex' and 'Gender reassignment' are two entirely separate protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 so it's difficult to see why you have combined them.

2/7
The protected characteristic of sex has only possible options: 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology. Other terms are not valid options.

3/7
The protected characteristic of 'gender reassignment' can only have the binary answers of yes or no. Other terms are not valid options.

4/7
'Non-Binary' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010,
is not defined in the Act and is not a valid response to a question about either protected characteristic.

5/7
Language and meaning of words are important and proper use & understanding of terms is vital so that the public is aware of what rights they have and what your duties are. Any confusion or inconsistency over meaning may prevent people from accessing their rights in law.

6/7
Will you undertake to correct these errors and to review all your other policies, documents, reports, etc to ensure compliance?

Please respond.
