I am currently compiling a spreadsheet detailing the equality policies of all 130 recognised higher education institutes in the UK.
If anyone feels like helping, could you Google the equality policy of your alma mater/local/any random university and report here the following:
- Does their statement specifically cite the EA2010? (‘The Equality Act 2010 lists the following protected characteristics’ or similar).
- Which wording do they use for ‘sex’ in this citation (most commonly, it is replaced by ‘gender’)?
- Which wording do they use for ‘sex’ in their institute policy statement (again, likely to be switched for ‘gender’)?
Googling is most productive if you search ‘university name + equality and diversity’. I have found this usually returns a central institute page called a variation of ‘equality/diversity/inclusion’.
If you are willing to help and notice anything noteworthy, feel free to add extra info. For example, I have found one institute which replaced ‘gender reassignment’ with ‘transgender’.
No worries if nobody has time! But thanks in advance for any help :)
