Hi @Law_Commission @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

I note your announcement: Reforms to protect disabled and LGBT+ victims, criminalise extremist misogynist “incel” hate material, and safeguard free speech

And the article on this by @davidbarrett in the @DailyMailUK:

Warning over new law to tackle anti-trans slurs | Daily Mail Online

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… 2/6
Can you explain why, in the 'Equality and Diversity' section of your job application, you are still asking for the 'Gender' of applicants using the two options that are the two sexes as defined in the Equality Act 2010? 3/6 ImageImageImageImage
And can you also say why you do not ask about the protected chatacteristic of gender reassignment? How can you know you are not unlawfully discriminating against those with this protected characteristic if you don't collect data on it? 4/6 Image
And do you agree that understanding the law and the difference between the protected characteristic of sex and 'gender', which is not a protected characteristic, is vital, particualrly if your new proposals are implemented? 5/6
I raised similar issues with you in June but you didn't respond. Will you now respond?

6/6

Hi @CommissionerDA @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

I see you changed your survey on Domestic Violence today.

Yesterday, it had a question, "17 What is your gender? We refer to gender as what you identify as ...

homeofficesurveys.homeoffice.gov.uk/s/DAC-Independ… 1/13 Image
...rather than your biological sex." with options:

Female
Male
Non-binary 2/13
This was followed by question 18 on something you label as 'trans history'. 3/13

Hi @brownlowcentral @CentralLpoolPCN @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

Your job advert says you are "committed to equality and diversity, and we strive for our workforce to be representative and inclusive of the complex and...

beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba… 1/24
...diverse community, which we are proud to serve." [sic]

You then say, "we actively encourage individuals who self-identify as having protected characteristics..." and that you are "particularly keen to encourage applications from: women and gender minorities;" 2/24
The 'Equality and diversity monitoring' section of your application form says "There are protected characteristics set out by the Equality Act 2010." You then list "gender and gender reassignment".

Gender reassignment is a protected characteristic but 'gender' is not.

Hi @MidwivesRCM @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

I note your committment today to @millihill to ensuring "women are never erased":



I also note you are a Stonewall 'Diversity Champion'. 1/25
The 'equality monitoring form' in your job application says you use the information "on several characteristics relating to equality and diversity" to "ensure effective implementation of our commitment to equal opportunities".

rcm.org.uk/media/5516/equ… 2/25
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 @ADVANCEcharity @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

I note your vacancy for 'Brent and CouRAGEus Manager' (VAWG TEAM MANAGER) is "open to female applicants only as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational...

advancecharity.livevacancies.co.uk/#/job/details/…
1/26
...requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010."

I note your application form does not ask for the sex of applicants but asks, "Do you meet this Occupational requirement?" Can you say why you don't simply ask applicants to state their sex? 2/26
You have a section of the form that says you are "committed to encouraging diversity and inclusion and eliminating discrimination" and you reiterate that applicants must be female. 3/26

Hi @TheGreenParty @carla_denyer @AdrianRamsay @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

Your jobs page says you pride yourself "on being an Equal Opportunity employer and particularly welcomes applications from those who identify...

greenparty.org.uk/jobs/ 1/22
...under one of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010" and you (almost) correctly list the nine protected characteristics:

race
age
disability
gender reassignment
religion or belief
sex
sexual orientation
marriage and civil partnership
pregnancy 2/22
I note the EHRC guidance on gathering information of these protected characteristics:

Good equality practice for employers: equality policies, equality training and monitoring

Hi @Scotlandteam @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @trussliz @GEOgovuk

In your job application, you don't say why you collect "Diversity Details" from applicants. 1/20
As it is a part of your job application process, I assume that - despite its title - its purpose is to help you to ensure that you are recruiting without unlawfully discriminating under the Equality Act 2010.
