Dear Enquiries,

Thank you for you response to my FOI request. With regard to Q1 and Q2/3 - please can you confirm which schemes you are part of with Stonewall and attach any submissions for their Workplace Equality Index if you have them available. If you are only a member of there diversity champion scheme, please respond as such.

With regard to feedback and communication with Stonewall, please attach any that you have available - if this is not available, please just confirm that it is not held.

Thank you in advance.

Yours sincerely,

L Ko
