Hi @WomensBudgetGrp @EHRC @EHRCChair @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form in your job application mentions the Equality Act 2010 and asks for the sex of the applicant with the options male and female.

However, you then ask for their 'Gender identity' with options:

Woman
Man
Trans woman
Trans man
Non-binary
Other

'Gender identity' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology.

Woman and Man are the terms used in the Act for the protected characteristic of sex. The other terms are not used in the Act or defined in the Act.
