About You

Rochdale Borough Council is committed to ensuring that its services, policies and practices are free from discrimination and that they meet the needs of all sections of the community.

We would be grateful if you would answer the questions below. You are under no obligation to provide the information requested, but it would help us greatly if you did. The information will be anonymised, kept confidential and treated sensitively.

Once you have completed your response please scroll to the bottom and click continue.

1. What is your gender?

More information

Select either “Female” or “Male”.

If you are non-binary, transgender or have variations of sex characteristics, also known as intersex, the answer you give can be different from what is on your birth certificate.

If you’re not sure how to answer, use the sex registered on your official documents, such as passport or driving licence, or whichever sex you consider yourself to be.

2. Which age group are you in?
3. Which group best describes your ethnicity?
4. Do you consider yourself to have a disability?

More information

The Equality Act (2010) defines an individual as disabled if they have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative effect on their ability to do normal day-to-day activities. 

5. Do you have caring responsibilities?

More information

According to the NHS,

"A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid. When we refer to carers in this document, this is inclusive of both adult and young carers”.

6. Are you a member of the armed forces or ex-member of the armed forces?
7. What is your postcode?

Like the other questions on this page, answering this is optional. It will only be used to check that responses have been gained from across the borough.
