Dear Ermine,
Re- Your Request for Information Ref 456 FOI LCH
Further to your request under the Freedom of Information Act, please find enclosed the following
information.
Information requested and response:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Please provide any information
that you hold answering to any of the following descriptions:
1. Any application you made in 2019 or 2020 to be a “Stonewall Diversity Champion” or to be
included on Stonewall’s “Workplace Equality Index,” including any attachments or appendices to
those applications. Please redact personal details if necessary.
The Workplace Equality Index application made in 2019 was uploaded to Stonewall and saved
in the Stonewall Diversity Champions area, currently Leeds Community Healthcare is not a
Stonewall Diversity Champion and so cannot access.
2. Any feedback you received in 2019 or 2020 from Stonewall in relation to either application or
programme.
No feedback was received for the 2019 Workplace Equality Index submission due to the lapse
in the Trust’s Stonewall Diversity Champions submission. Due to Covid19, the Workplace
Equality Index was cancelled by Stonewall in 2020.
3. Any other communication you have received from Stonewall in 2019 or 2020 unless privileged
or otherwise exempt from disclosure (but if you claim privilege or exemption in relation to any
material, please say in broad terms what the material is and the basis on which you claim to be
entitled to withhold it).
All communication between LCH and Stonewall held on our system refers to the payment of
Stonewall Diversity Champions invoice(s) and access/entitlement of support offered as a
Stonewall Diversity Champion.
4. Full details of any equality impact assessment you carried out connected with any of these
applications (including any equality impact assessment carried out prior to an earlier application
of the same kind, if no further assessment was done).
An equality impact assessment has not been conducted.
