Demographic Survey for Opencast Software

We use this demographic survey to help us evaluate the work we’re doing on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). Our aim is for the diversity of our people to reflect the diversity of the users we serve, so that it can be reflected in the solutions we deliver, to help create a fairer society for all. We capture insights on specific characteristics to better understand the diverse makeup of our talent pool and ensure our recruitment processes are inclusive for all identities and backgrounds. We are dedicated to offering equal opportunities and are actively working to eradicate discrimination, fostering an environment where people of all identities, attributes, perspectives, and backgrounds can thrive. Submitting your information on this form is completely voluntary. Whether or not you choose to provide this information, it will not affect your job application in any way. Any information you share is anonymous and kept confidential and separate from your name and job application, so it will not be possible to identify you. We will only use your information combined with data from other applicants to evaluate our JEDI efforts. We’ll retain this information for 3 years and will not pass it to any third parties. The categories available for selection follow UK Government guidance and are not reflective of Opencast’s own views.
