How will you use the data?

We will use the anonymised information to reflect on our work as the teaching profession’s independent registration and regulation body and having a better understanding of our registrants and their equality data will allow us to do this.

We will also use the information in our work with partners in our important role of speaking up for teaching. For this reason, we will only seek information which we believe will be helpful in our work.

Following the survey, an assessment will be made of the process and results to examine whether the data in meaningful enough and of sufficient quality to justify continuing or extending this work. The nature of data gathered and published by other organisations, such as the Scottish Government, will also have a bearing on how this work continues in the future.
