Hi @transportgovuk

Now that @trussliz has called for all government departments to withdraw from @Stonewalluk’s 'Diversity Champions' scheme and after @ehrc announced it had already left, will you take this opportunity to review your equality...

... monitoring and all your equality policies, etc to ensure they accurately describe the Equality Act 2010 protected characteristics, particularly after what employment and discrimination Barrister Akua Reindorf said in her report?

I have highlighted many Government ministerial & non-ministerial departments on my website, mostly for using the term 'gender' instead of the protected characteristic of sex in their recruitment monitoring (October 2020):

It's time they all accurately described the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010 so that everyone is aware of their rights and your responsibilities and duties.

Will you ensure this is reviewed with some urgency?

Hi @thurrockcouncil @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The 'Protected Characteristics Form/Diversity' section of your job application doesn't say why you collect the information. 1/25 Image
As it is a part of your job application process, I assume its purpose is to help you to ensure that you are recruiting without unlawfully discriminating under the Equality Act 2010.

Hi @bruneluni @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

You don't say why you collect information in the 'About you' section of your job application, although you do say "COMMITTED TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND REPRESENTING THE DIVERSITY OF THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE"

Hi @COPFS @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

You say the information gathered in the 'EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES MONITORING FORM' in your job application is used to "review and report on the effectiveness of its equal opportunities policies".
