Subject: Freedom of Information request - FOI - Expenditure on equality,
diversity, and inclusivity.

Dear Chichester District Council,

I wish to make an FOI request, as set out under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.

Please can your organisation provide in Excel CSV format, the following
information:

a) The number of roles in your association (expressed in numbers of FTE),
that are mainly or exclusively focussed on issues of equality, diversity,
or inclusivity. For example, this could include (amongst other guises)
“EDI officers” or “diversity and inclusion project managers” but would not
include general HR managers.

b) Either a) the pay band of each of these roles, or b) the combined total
salaries for these roles. Whichever measure is more in accordance with
your data preferences.

c) In the past 12 months the number of staff days across your organisation
which have been committed to attending equality training programmes,
whether internally run or with external consultants. (staff days =
duration of the training programme multiplied by the number of staff in
attendance for the course).

d) The contractual cost of any consultants hired, in the past twelve
months, to provide any external training or advice on issues of diversity,
equality, or inclusivity.

e) In the past twelve months, the number of staff days committed to
attending conferences relating mainly or exclusively to matters of
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. (duration of conference multiplied by
the number of staff in attendance).

f) The costs of attending these conferences.

g) Membership costs the organisation pays for participation in equality
charters such as the Stonewall Equality Champions, or Diversity and
Inclusion Workplace champions.

Please can this information be returned to me, via email,
([5][email address]) within 20 working days.

The most desirable csv layout would be the letter (a-g) in column A and
then the information you hold in column B. If your organisation does not
hold information in relation to any of the letters please file as N/A.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Bates
