What is your date of birth? DD/MM/YYYY If you prefer not to say, continue without entering any information. We ask for date of birth instead of age, so we can analyse your age for each interaction you have with Innovate UK. We want to ensure that people of all ages engage with Innovate UK. Answering this question will help us to identify any disproportionately under-represented ages and monitor changes when taking action to advance equality of opportunity.
Do you consider yourself to have any conditions, illnesses or disabilities that act as a substantial or long-term barrier to carrying out day-to-day activities? A ‘substantial or long-term barrier’ is legally defined as ‘12 months or more’. Day-to day activities could include travelling for work, using computers, stakeholder interactions, time management, or other relevant activities. The conditions, illnesses or disabilities do not need to be medically diagnosed. We are committed to removing barriers for individuals with conditions, illnesses or disabilities. Responding to this question will help us to tailor services and support, building a more accessible system for everyone.
What is your ethnicity or ethnic group? Your ethnic group could be your cultural or family background and should be the option you most closely identify with. We are taking action to advance equality for overlooked ethnic groups. Your response is key to understanding trends and monitoring the impact of activities.
Please can you tell us your gender? For this question you are asked about your gender, which may reflect a combination of gender identity, expression and/or experience. Gender refers to your current gender, which may be different to sex recorded at birth and may be different to what is indicated on legal documents. You will have the opportunity to provide your sex in the next question. Your answer will help us identify any disproportionately under-represented genders and monitor changes when taking action to advance equality of opportunity.
What is your sex? As a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, you are asked to provide your legal sex. This should be based on the sex as recorded on legal/official documents. To comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty (part of the Equality Act 2010), we collect data on legal sex. Your response is key to understanding trends and to monitor the impact of activities being taken to advance equality for all.
Do you identify as trans? You may identify as trans if your gender differs from the sex recorded on legal/official documents. A trans status does not have to be formally recognised with a Gender Recognition Certificate. Your answer will help us to monitor changes when taking action to advance equality of opportunity.
What is your religion, belief, or non-belief? You should select your current religion, belief, or non-belief. We want to ensure our services are accessible to all. By knowing if you have any religion or belief, we can identify actions to address any disproportionately under-represented groups.
What is your sexual orientation? When we say sexual orientation, we refer to how someone defines their physical and/or romantic attraction towards other people. ‘Queer’ has been included as an option due to its recent reclamation by the LGBTQ+ community. Your answer will help us identify any disproportionately under-represented groups and monitor changes when taking action to advance equality of opportunity.
What was the occupation of the main earner in your household when you were aged 14? You should select the option that most closely describes the occupation. We are committed to ensuring that people from any socioeconomic background have access to Innovate UK. We recognise that a single question cannot capture the breadth and experiences of a person’s socioeconomic background, but this will instead provide an indication. By answering this question, you will be providing important information for monitoring changes when taking action to advance equality of opportunity.
Do you have any unpaid caring responsibilities for children and/or adults? This includes if you are a parent. Knowing of any caring responsibilities will help to tailor services and support, to build a more accessible system for all.
