The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has updated its diversity questionnaire ahead of this year's diversity data collection exercise.
Lexis®Library update: All SRA-regulated law firms must collect data about the diversity make-up of their workforce every two years. The data must be reported to the SRA and published by the firm. Firms are next due to report to the SRA in late Summer 2021, although the SRA has not yet confirmed the dates.
The SRA has made changes to the questionnaire relating to socio-economic background, ethnicity, sex and gender identity, and minor changes to the questions on religion or belief and sexual orientation. It has confirmed that firms can start collecting diversity data now using the revised questionnaire.
The new questionnaire document can be found here.
