Dear Parents/Carers

As you will know, most employers and organisations are required to collect ethnicity and disability data as part of their recruitment processes. The Scout Association is also required to collect this data in respect of both adults and young people in Scouting.

I am sure you will understand that it is important that Scouting reflects the communities in which it operates, and provides effective activities and opportunities for all sectors of society. Whilst Scouting nationally and locally has made considerable strides in achieving this, in order to demonstrate our success we need to continue to improve the collection of accurate date.

Taking this into account, please find attached a new form issued by the Scout Association Headquarters which is intended to help the National Body collect anonymous data around ethnicity and disability. The categories on this form match those used by the UK National Census and this in turn will mean that we can get a much more accurate picture of how closely Scouting truly reflects the communities locally that it serves.

We would, therefore, be grateful if you would fully complete the form and return it to your Section Leader.

All data will be transferredanonymously to a Scout Association Summary Sheet and the form that you have completed will be securely destroyed.
