Monitoring questions

NGA recognises that many individuals and communities experience unlawful and unfair discrimination and oppression. NGA recognises its legal responsibility under the Equality Act 2010, to ensure that no unlawful discrimination occurs in the recruitment and selection process on the grounds of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, or age. Equality of opportunity is an integral part of this recruitment and selection process.


It is NGA’s intention that all employees and consultants should have an equal chance of advancement, access to opportunity, and the training necessary to that end, irrespective of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, or age.


To help NGA monitor the effectiveness of its Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, we would be grateful if you would complete this form. It plays no part in the selection process and is not mandatory.
