Monitoring Diversity
As a council we are committed to ensuring that everyone is treated fairly and has an equal opportunity to participate and have their say.

By monitoring who is completing surveys we can identify where specific groups of people are not taking part and then explore why this is the case. It may be that they don't want to be involved or it might be because the way in which we work has excluded them. It can also help us to identify where certain groups are having common problems that other groups aren't having.

The categories listed below are the national standard and allow us to compare our results to those of other councils across the country.
Are you ..?  (Please tick üone box only)
 
Do you or the person/group you are representing have any long standing illness(es), disability(ies) or infirmity(ies)? (long standing means anything that has troubled you over a period of time or that is likely to affect you over a period of time).
(Please tick üone box only)
 
Yes
No
To which of these groups do you consider you belong to? (Please tick üone box only)
 
Thank you very much for taking part in this survey.

The results will be analysed and used to help us to produce a number of key service standards. These will be advertised with details of how we will monitor our performance and report                  back to you.
