Monitoring Questionnaire

BALTIC is working towards achieving diversity and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

Why monitor diversity?

We are committed to encouraging equality and diversity in all aspects of employment at BALTIC. This information will help us to ensure recruitment and selection at BALTIC is carried out fairly and effectively and will also help us to identify any barriers to recruitment.

What information will be collected?

This questionnaire asks you to categorise yourself by ethnic group, disability, gender, religion/belief and sexual orientation. This data will be kept on a database and monitored for statistical purposes only.

What will happen to the monitoring form?

The questionnaire will be separated from your application form and will not be seen by those responsible for short-listing and will not therefore, form part of the selection process.

What will the information be used for?

This questionnaire will contain sensitive personal data which will only be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. The data will help us to review our employment policies and practices, particularly where equality of opportunity is concerned.
