In accordance with our equal opportunities policy, the organisation will provide equal opportunities to all employees and job applicants and will not discriminate either directly or indirectly on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic origin, nationality, national origin, sex, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, religion or age. We ask all candidates to complete and return this Equal Opportunities Monitoring form

The data given on this form will be stored on computer in an anonymised format and the form will then be destroyed approximately 6 months later.

You may decide not to answer one or any of these questions but if you do respond, all information provided will be treated in confidence and will be used solely by the Human Resources department for the purpose of providing statistics for equal opportunities monitoring. The monitoring form does not form part of your application and will therefore be detached from it on receipt and stored separately. You can mail this form to us separately if you wish.

In each section listed below, please choose one option by marking 'X' in the appropriate box.
