GMB collects equality monitoring data in order to ensure diversity in our membership and democratic structures and help us to meet our aims of being a fully inclusive union. We follow the most recent government guidelines, which we understand are not fitting for everyone so there is an option to self define, although choosing a specific category will assist us with analysing data if you can. Sharing this information with GMB is optional. All data will be kept securely.
Choose one option that best describes your ethnic group or background.
This may include: physical and mental health conditions, neurodivergent conditions (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia etc), diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, limb difference, chronic pain, vision impairment, being deaf or hard of hearing, chronic conditions relating to older age and other conditions not listed here.
Trans is an umbrella term used by people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth.
