Hi @STagainstDA_ @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The Diversity Monitoring Form in your job application asks for the sex of the applicant with options:

Male
Female
Other.

surveymonkey.co.uk/r/T3VBGD2

1/5

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology. 'Other' is not a valid option.

legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/…

2/5

You then ask, "Is your sex the same as the sexyou [sic] were assigned at birth?"

Sex is not 'assigned' at birth: sex is observed and recorded and is immutable. This question, therefore, makes no sense and it is not clear what information you are seeking to gather here.

Hi @Argos_Online @ArgosCareers @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

Your job application mentions your statutory obligations under the Equality Act and correctly has sex in a list of the protected characteristics under the Act.

However...

However, you then ask "Please choose the option which best describes your gender identity" with options:

Male
Female
Transgender.

2/10

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

I note the advert for a Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist for your Gender Identity Development Service

The Equal opportunities...

The Equal opportunities section of the job application mentions the Equality Act 2010 four times and correctly lists sex as a protected characteristic.

However, you then ask, "Please indicate your gender" with options:

Male
Female.

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