Equity and Diversity Monitoring Survey: Applications

By filling out this survey, you’re helping us to ensure that our recruitment processes remain fair and inclusive, and that we continue to attract diverse and talented candidates.

The information you provide will only be used for statistical purposes and is completely confidential. Your answers will be anonymous to everyone involved in all decision-making processes at all stages of recruitment. When we report on this data, it is fully anonymised and combined with other responses, so we’ll never publish information that could identify you. We keep EDI survey data for the year it is submitted and for the following two full years to help us track and measure progress over time, and to help us identify and implement improvements we can make.

You only need to complete this survey once per job role applied for. If there’s anything you’d rather not answer, simply select "prefer not to answer".

As this form is confidential, if you would like to discuss any adjustments that might make the process more accessible to you, please reach out to your consultant directly as they won't receive the information from this form. They'd be happy to discuss any access requirements with you.

Why do your insights matter?
The more we understand about our sector, the better we can make it. The insights you provide allow us to continuously develop our approach to EDI, so we can be as inclusive and effective as possible.

As an incentive, Charity People will make a £1 donation to Give a Book for every form completed*, a charity dedicated to promoting books and the pleasure of reading. *Maximum of £1000 until April 2027
