Title of request: Dealings with Stonewall re “Stonewall Diversity
Champion” or “Workplace Equality Index,” (2019-2020)

Dear Mulier,

Freedom of Information Act 2000

 

Your request for information has now been considered and the information
requested is as follows:

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. None

 

2. Any feedback you received in 2019 or 2020 from Stonewall in relation to
either application or programme. None

 

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). None

 

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). N/A

 

5. Details of the total amount of money you paid to Stonewall (i) in 2019;
(ii) in 2020, whether or not as payment for goods or services. None

 

6. Whether you intend to continue your membership of any Stonewall scheme
in the future, and if so which. MKC is not a member of any Stonewall
Scheme. In 2017 we enquired about the scheme with the thought of possibly
using their help at that time. However, we never received a reply to
numerous emails and so we have never proceeded with any sort of
relationship.

If you have a complaint about the handling of your request then you may
request an internal review within the next 40 working days which will be
considered as part of Stage 2 of the Council’s complaints procedure.

 

You also have a right of appeal to the Information Commissioner at:
