Diversity Monitoring Form - NS&I
We encourage applications from talented individuals from all backgrounds and across the whole of the United Kingdom. Boards of public bodies are most effective when they reflect the diversity of views of the society they serve and this is an important part of the Government’s levelling up agenda.

We collect diversity data about applicants’ characteristics and backgrounds, including information about people’s professional backgrounds, so that we can make sure we are attracting a broad range of people to these roles and that our selection processes are fair for everyone. Without this information, it makes it difficult to see if our outreach is working, if the application process is having an unfair impact on certain groups and whether changes are making a positive difference.

When you submit your application, your responses are collected by the Cabinet Office and the government
department(s) managing your application. The data is used to produce management information about the diversity of applicants. You can select “prefer not to say” to any question you do not wish to answer. The information you provide in this form will not be seen by the advisory assessment panel who will sift applications and conduct interviews against the advertised criteria.

Our Privacy Notice sets out in more detail how we will use your personal data, and your rights. It is made under Articles13 and/or 14 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The form should only take a few minutes to complete.

We thank you in advance for your support.
