Collect and analyse data consistently
You could:
At foundation level:
- Begin collecting basic diversity data about workforce and service users using surveys or administrative data
At development level:
- Analyse collected data regularly to identify patterns and inequalities
- Build staff skills in equality data analysis
- Use data to inform strategy and identify areas for improvement
- Ensure analysis directly informs policy decisions and implementation
At advanced level:
- Measure equality outcomes and impacts systematically (the difference you make, not just activities you undertake)
- Conduct comprehensive data collection using both quantitative and qualitative approaches
- Make evidence collection an ongoing practice
- Use intersectional analysis where possible (examining how different characteristics combine to create different experiences)
Suggested Priority: High | Suggested Timeframe: Short (1-2 years) and ongoing
