How to submit your thoughts:
We would like to hear your views on the draft Guidance, and the proposed key messages and recommended questions we have set out to support public bodies to collect, disaggregate and use data on sex and gender.
This topic covers a wide range of complex issues and we appreciate there is a lot to consider. It would be helpful for you to focus on data issues in your response.
In particular we welcome your views on:
- The underlying statistical principles that the draft guidance is based upon.
- An approach to data collection that starts with an organisation considering what its data needs are
- The proposed recommend questions
- The messages around intersectionality, harmonisation and presenting data on non-binary groups
- Scope of the 'data on sex and gender key questions’ checklist .
We would encourage you to respond to any or all of those parts where you feel you have a contribution to make. We welcome your thoughts on the potential impacts, both positive and potentially negative, of any of the points in the draft guidance.
We are inviting feedback on the draft guidance by 12 February 2021.
Please share your feedback on the draft guidance by email to:
[email protected]
We look forward to hearing from you.
Please indicate how you wish your response to be handled and, in particular, whether you are content for your response to published. If you ask for your response not to be published, we will regard it as confidential, and we will treat it accordingly.
Feedback on the draft guidance may be shared with members of the Sex and Gender in Data Working Group order to help inform the next phase of work to develop the final guidance.
