1. Please select the age group that reflects your age:

Age is a legally protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.

2. What is your Sex?

Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed.  This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time.

Gender interacts with but is different from sex, which refers to the different biological and physiological characteristics of females, males and intersex persons, such as chromosomes, hormones and reproductive organs. Gender and sex are related to but different from gender identity. Gender identity refers to a person’s deeply felt, internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond to the person’s physiology or designated sex at birth. (World Health Organisation definition)

Gender and Gender Reassignment are legally protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

3. Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?
4. What is your ethnic group? If you have a mixed ethnicity, please select the combination of ethnicities that best describes you.

Ethnicity & Race

Ethnicity is defined as “the social group a person belongs to, and either identifies with or is identified with by others, as a result of a mix of cultural and other factors including language, diet, religion, ancestry and physical features traditionally associated with race" (Bhopal 2004). Ethnicity is self-defined and may change over time, it overlaps with the legally protected racial identity but is a broader term.

Race is a legally protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. Race is defined under the Act as being part of a group of people who are identified by their nationality, citizenship, colour, national or ethnic origins.

We recognise that for some of our communities tribal identity is important and yet is not routinely collected. Across the world there are over 360 recognised tribal communities with distinct customs, traditions and in some cases specific tribal laws or regulations. We have started to ask about tribal identity to better understand this aspect of identity so that we can better support the needs of our citizens and staff.

Disability

You are disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' effect on your ability to do normal daily activities. 

'Substantial' is more than minor or trivial e.g. it takes much longer that it usually would to complete a daily task like getting dressed. 'Long-term' means 12 months or more, e.g. a breathing condition that develops as a result of a lung infection.

People with progressive conditions can be classified as disabled and under the legislation, some specific conditions can be classified as disabled from the day of diagnosis (HIV, cancer or multiple sclerosis). (HM Governmnent).

Disability is a legally protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.
