Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Some questions ask about personal characteristics such as ethnicity, age and sexual orientation, so we want to explain how your information is used and protected.
Why we're asking
Eastside People is committed to building an inclusive and representative consultant community where everyone is treated fairly and without discrimination. Collecting this information helps us understand the diversity of our consultant pool and monitor whether our practices remain fair, inclusive and accessible over time.
This year, we've also included questions on social mobility to help us understand diversity of background and opportunity, as well as personal characteristics.
Your responses help us build a more accurate picture of our consultant community and support our commitment to fairness, inclusion and equal opportunity.
What we collect
We ask for your name and email address so we can track who has completed the survey and keep our records up to date as consultants join and leave the pool.
The remaining questions relate to your background and personal characteristics. Some of this information is classified as special category data under data protection law and is handled with particular care.
Who can see your answers
Your individual responses are held securely by Hireful, our recruitment system provider, which processes the data on our behalf.
Eastside People staff can only see the names and email addresses of those who have completed the survey. We cannot see how any individual has answered, and survey responses are never linked to an individual's name in the reporting we receive.
How we report the results
Eastside People only receives aggregated results for the consultant pool as a whole. Results are reported as overall totals and are not presented in a way that could identify individual respondents.
How long we keep it
We collect this information approximately every three years. Records are removed when a consultant leaves the pool so that our data remains accurate and up to date.
Taking part
Completing the survey is voluntary. You can select "Prefer not to say" for any question you would rather not answer.
