Discussion Questions
- Does our organisation undertake equality monitoring of Board, staff, volunteers, and members / participants? Are results considered within a comparison to wider demographic data across the protected characteristics?
- Is this information used to prioritise work to address under representation and tackle inequalities?
- Do we consult with those we currently engage with from underrepresented groups to better understand experience and shape strategy?
- Do we consult those we do NOT currently engage with from underrepresented groups to better understand experience and shape strategy?
