Hi @IpsosMORI @benatipsosmori @EllieSh76 @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

You say you're an equal opportunity employer & that you "do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected status or characteristic"

However, you list 'gender' in what appears to be a list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

2/5
'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act and 'gender' is not a synonym for sex.

legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/…

Can you say why you list 'gender' but don't list sex as a protected characteristic?

5/5

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology.
