We are asking Members to update their Equality, Diversity and Inclusion data. This data covers things like Ethnicity, Gender, Disability, etc.
Completion is voluntary and your data will be treated in the strictest confidence in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation 2021, Data Protection Act 2018 and Equality Act 2010.
How can you fill in your EDI data?
Log into your BPS account via the portal and click 'my BPS'. One of these tiles is titled 'Equality Data.' When you click on the tile you will be asked to fill in a number of drop down question, the form takes approximately five minutes to complete.
Why are we asking for this data?
By completing Equality, Diversity and Inclusion monitoring (EDI), you will help us better understand our society, while enabling us to identify priorities and actions. Data also helps our member networks, branches and sections plan and shape their work.
How will this data be stored and who owns the data?
You do! You can log in at any time and change or delete the data you have provided. All equality data is anonymous and you will only ever be asked to complete it through the membership portal. Data is encrypted with only a selected number of staff who have access. All data collection and retention follows the standards set out in the national legislation listed above.
