Notes

The Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) has a number of resources relating to gathering information across the protected characteristics covered by the Equality Act 2010. These resources can be found at Equality Challenge Unit. If you have any further queries regarding equality monitoring, please email ECU at [email protected].

It is recognised that due to the nature of non-academic atypical contracts, sex may not be known for staff members with only this type of contract. Where a staff member holds only non-academic atypical contracts (Contract.TERMS = 3 and Activity.ACTSOC = 4-9) Person.SEX is not required to be completed where sex is not known.
