Equalities Monitoring

Equalities Monitoring Form

As a council it is vital that we know the make-up of the community so we can ensure our services are suitable and accessible for all.

Why Do We Ask These Questions?

We’re not just being nosey – the answers to these questions can help us improve the services we deliver.

For example, if we find out that certain groups of people aren’t using particular services, we can address these issues to make sure everyone gets equal access to our services, regardless of their gender, age, race, faith, sexual orientation or whether they have a disability.

Answering the questions on the form is voluntary. If you decide that you don’t want to provide this information, then that’s fine. But the information is useful for us to improve the services we deliver to our residents.

Any information you provide will be kept confidential under data protection rules. It will be used to plan where the service needs to focus its resources in the future.
