NASBTT is committed to complying with the Equality Act 2010 and to fostering an inclusive, fair and respectful environment across the initial teacher training sector. To do this well, it is important that we understand the diversity of the community we serve and work alongside. This monitoring form helps us build a clearer picture of the make-up of our trustees, staff, consultants and members. The information gathered will support our ongoing work to ensure that NASBTT’s policies, services and initiatives are accessible, inclusive and responsive, and that we can identify where further action or support may be needed.
Your voice matters
By choosing to share a little more about yourself, you are helping us understand who is represented within our community, who may be under-represented, and how we can continue to improve equality, diversity and inclusion across our work.

About the questions and categories used
For the purposes of analysis, benchmarking and comparison with wider sector and national data, many of the questions in this form use categories and terminology aligned with ACAS recommendations and other commonly used monitoring frameworks. These categories support consistency and allow us to understand our data in context. We recognise that these categories and definitions may not always reflect the language individuals use to describe themselves, nor fully capture the richness and complexity of people’s identities. Their inclusion does not imply that NASBTT endorses narrow or fixed definitions. Where possible, we have included options that allow for self-description, and we welcome feedback on how our approach can continue to improve.
How your information will be used
Completing this form is entirely voluntary. Any information you choose to provide will be treated confidentially, stored securely and anonymised. Individual responses will not be identifiable and will not be used for decision-making about individuals. The data collected will be used by NASBTT solely for equality monitoring, analysis and reporting, to help us understand representation across our community and assess how effectively we are meeting our equality, diversity and inclusion commitments.
In some circumstances, fully anonymised and aggregated data may also be shared with trusted partners for the purposes of supporting research, benchmarking and sector-wide learning in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion within school-based initial teacher training. No personal or identifiable information will ever be shared.
If you have any questions about this form or how the information will be used, please contact us.
