Why we collect diversity monitoring data?

You may think letting RCOT know your gender, age, disability, ethnicity, religion and belief and sexual orientation, has nothing to do with how you do your job and doesn't benefit you, but knowing about what makes you the individual you are is very important to us.

Why is it important to us?

Because when you declare this information, we can identify and remove barriers to full inclusion at work and implement positive action interventions and projects in a properly targeted way.

This data also helps us measure our success in making our policies and procedures fully inclusive and fair. Just some of the ways we use personal data include:

• exploring areas of under-representation of specific groups of people

• providing an understanding of the experience of different groups

• planning organisational changes so they are fair for everyone.

Some of you may worry about providing personal information and we really do understand those worries. Please let me assure you that we only use the information to improve our offering to you, the data is not used to identify individuals.

The information you share with us is protected under Data Protection legislation and importantly, we never disclose your personal data without your permission.

At RCOT we are committed to creating an inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive and you can help us continue to do that. Please take a few minutes to complete the information requested below. This will be separated from your application on receipt (before shortlisting and selection).

The information provided will be used for monitoring purposes only and will play no part in the recruitment process.

Completion of this form is voluntary, and all questions are optional. You are not obliged to answer any of these questions but the more information you supply, the more effective our monitoring will be. All information supplied will be treated in the strictest confidence, an anonymised format will be retained solely for monitoring purposes.
