Equality and diversity monitoring is the process of gathering and analysing data on people’s characteristics. Monitoring allows the County FA to understand the makeup of its Staff, Board, Council and those accessing its programmes within affiliated football and meet the needs of individuals if activities need adapting. Participation is entirely optional and you are not obliged to self declare your characteristics. Participation however, provides us with a clear picture of the makeup of those applying for roles within our organisation and the information we receive is only used for monitoring and statistical purposes only.
