How we use Equal Opportunity data 

In your application we request that you answer a series of Equal Opportunity questions. The information you provide is not accessible by anyone outside of the BAC People Team and is used solely for monitoring our recruitment processes; it will not inform the selection process.  

The only exception to this is to allow us to fulfil our promise as a Disability Confident Employer, where possible, offering an interview to all candidates meeting the minimum criteria who disclose a disability. Again, the data will remain confidential and only with the People Team 

If you would rather not answer any or all the questions, you are welcome to select or write “prefer not to say”.  

We ask these questions to help us measure how we are meeting our access and inclusion aims, as Battersea Arts Centre is committed to equality of opportunity for all job applicants and employees. The Equal Opportunities data from all our vacancies will be routinely pooled, anonymised, and then analysed, to measure our engagement with different demographics. We will then use this information to update and improve our outreach efforts in our processes. 

 

Stance on AI 

At BAC we understand that AI can be used as an access tool to aid with writing job applications. For those using AI programmes for their application, we ask that you make sure your answers reflect you and your work, and don’t simply mirror the job description or specification back to us.
