- Decision
- Carried
It has come to the attention of the South West Lesbian Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) Committee that the uses to which diversity monitoring information is being put are arbitrary and dislocated.
Some, such as ‘targeting LGBT communities by domicile’ are open to, at best misuse, and at worse, threats and intimidation or unsolicited outing.
We ask the LGBT Committee to act decisively regarding this issue by:
1.Liaising with the Regional Convenors, the Regional Education Committees and the Regional Branch Equality Officers to keep abreast of diversity monitoring developments, particularly LGBT domicile targeting;
2.Encouraging Regional LGBT groups to familiarise themselves with the bargaining factsheets on Workforce Monitoring for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity – May 2010, and to seek a commitment from these groups that this excellent tool is disseminated to all the branches in their regions;
3.We further instruct the National LGBT Committee to start preparing guidelines for the appropriate use of LGBT sensitive Diversity monitoring data that may arise from the 2011 national census.
