Equality monitoring: what is it all about?

We encourage people to complete our equality monitoring form by answering the two questions people ask most often:

1. What do you want to know?

We know that wherever you go, organisations want to know many things about you. Your age, disability, ethnicity, gender identify, religion or belief, sexual orientation, and what your relationship status is. At Clydesdale Housing Association the information we would like you to share with us is information about how you describe yourself. This information will help us understand the profile of the people who access the housing and services that we provide. By providing this information you will help us to make sure we are delivering our services in a way that meets the needs of all of our tenants.

2. Why do you need to know that about me?

We know that quite rightly you are careful about sharing your personal information in case it falls into the wrong hands. Protecting your personal information is a wise move and is something we think is important. That is why, if you choose to complete our equality monitoring form, we promise that we will keep your data securely and process it responsibly, in accordance with the law. We can also let you know that if you provide equality information to us that we do not use this information to identify you, it is only to help us see the bigger picture. While we will know if you have filled the form in or not we will not be able to connect your response to you in any way, making your response completely anonymous. On top of that, not even the Chief Executive of Clydesdale Housing Association will get to see the information you provide.

We will never force you to give us personal information, and we will never ask for information that we do not intend to use. If you do not want to share all, or some, of your personal data then you do not need to, there is an option to let us know this at every stage of the form.

All we would say is that it might take us a bit longer to make the improvements needed if we do not know enough about the people we provide our housing and services to.

The information you can provide really makes a difference to what we do.

Thank you.
