Equalities Monitoring Form

Why are we asking you to complete this form?

Filling out the Equalities Monitoring Form helps us learn more about the diversity of our applicants and the people we support with funding.

Your responses help us see if there are any gaps or areas where we can do better. This way, we can ensure that more people can benefit from our funding. Your contribution to this work is crucial in making a positive impact.

To do this we request information which does not directly relate to our assessment of your application. We ask questions regarding age, gender, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation. We also include questions on Gaelic language.

If you do not know some of the information or if you prefer not to provide it, you can fill in the 'Prefer not to say' box.

How will my information be used?

The information you provide will be used to create anonymous statistics and reports. These will help us support groups that are underrepresented, improve equal opportunities and prevent discrimination. Your input will also help us improve our services and meet reporting requirements.

Please be assured that personally identifiable information will not be shared outside our organisation. Any statistics and reports we create for wider publication will be anonymised to protect your privacy.

For information on how we use your personal information (e.g. age) and sensitive personal information (e.g. ethnicity), please see the Funding Section of our Privacy Notice.
