This feedback led to a complete restructure of the way in which we asked about disability in the 2023 survey, introducing a new question that asked about whether barriers and limitations were experienced in everyday life, to which 20% of respondents answered yes. We also introduced a more detailed introduction to the survey to better share how we were taking actions forward across the organization.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item hover-underline-animation"> <div class="accordion-header" id="heading-206a4640-0392-4b2e-a8b9-b24bd971868f"> <button class="accordion-button collapsed" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapse-206a4640-0392-4b2e-a8b9-b24bd971868f" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-206a4640-0392-4b2e-a8b9-b24bd971868f"> <h4>2023 Survey</h4> </button> </div> <div id="collapse-206a4640-0392-4b2e-a8b9-b24bd971868f" class="accordion-collapse collapse " aria-labelledby="heading-206a4640-0392-4b2e-a8b9-b24bd971868f" data-bs-parent="#parallax-accordion-75f48ad8963b42f38bcb316cc8cd609a"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>Our 2023 survey received a total of 457 responses from members of the community.

Examples of this include the introduction of a ‘fuzzy search’ option on our website and staff training on the formatting and presentation of accessible documents.</p> <p>We continued to operate a fully hybrid governance meetings calendar and refreshed our Care & Assistance Grant to better support those with caring responsibilities, changing the name of the grant to emphasize the range of support available and updating the applicant information to include clear examples of what could be funded. A video guide was also created to further assist in the application process.</p> <p>When asked about the survey itself respondents asked for consideration of socio-economic background and biological sex; as a result questions on both of these areas have been introduced in the 2024 survey. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="image-link-tiles container bottom-spacing"> <div class="row gx-0"> <div class="col-12 col-lg-6 col-xxl-4"> <div class="image-link-tile image-link-tile--small"> <div class="image-link-tile__overlay-content-wrapper"> <div class="image-link-tile__footer bg-op9-indigo"> <span class="image-link-tiles__footer-text">Disability</span> </div> <div class="image-link-tile__summary bg-op9-indigo" aria-label="In 2023 we changed the way we asked about disabilities."> <p aria-hidden="true">In 2023 we changed the way we asked about disabilities.</p> </div> </div> <picture class="image-link-tile__image"> <source srcset="/media/dd2d3g0o/bcs24-0003_edi_24_access1b.png?width=872&height=454&rnd=133580156540930000" media="(max-width: 767px)" /> <img width="872" height="454" src="/media/dd2d3g0o/bcs24-0003_edi_24_access1b.png?width=872&height=454&rnd=133580156540930000" alt="Pie chart showing % of survey respondents who answered yes to having access requirements in 2021, 2022 and 2023"> </picture> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-6 col-xxl-4"> <div class="image-link-tile image-link-tile--small"> <div class="image-link-tile__overlay-content-wrapper"> <div class="image-link-tile__footer bg-op9-blue"> <span class="image-link-tiles__footer-text">Caring responsibilities</span> </div> <div class="image-link-tile__summary bg-op9-blue" aria-label="Those identifying as having a caring responsibility have increased since 2021."> <p aria-hidden="true">Those identifying as having a caring responsibility have increased since 2021.</p> </div> </div> <picture class="image-link-tile__image"> <source srcset="/media/rwopaamq/bcs24-0003_edi_24_caring1b.png?width=872&height=454&rnd=133580156543230000" media="(max-width: 767px)" /> <img width="872" height="454" src="/media/rwopaamq/bcs24-0003_edi_24_caring1b.png?width=872&height=454&rnd=133580156543230000" alt="Pie chart showing % of survey respondents who answered yes to having caring responsibilities in 2021, 2022 and 2023"> </picture> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-lg-6 col-xxl-4"> <div class="image-link-tile image-link-tile--small"> <div class="image-link-tile__overlay-content-wrapper"> <div class="image-link-tile__footer bg-op9-orange"> <span class="image-link-tiles__footer-text">Ethnicity</span> </div> <div class="image-link-tile__summary bg-op9-orange" aria-label="In 2023 21% of respondents chose to self describe their ethnicity. "> <p aria-hidden="true">In 2023 21% of respondents chose to self describe their ethnicity. </p> </div> </div> <picture class="image-link-tile__image"> <source srcset="/media/do5bxagf/bcs24-0003_edi_24_ethnicity1b.png?width=872&height=454&rnd=133580156545630000" media="(max-width: 767px)" /> <img width="872" height="454" src="/media/do5bxagf/bcs24-0003_edi_24_ethnicity1b.png?width=872&height=454&rnd=133580156545630000" alt="Pie chart showing % of survey respondents who chose to self describe their ethnicity in 2021, 2022 and 2023"> </picture> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rich-text-block bottom-spacing "> <div class="container-sm rich-text "> <p><strong>Disability:</strong> In 2021 and 2022 we asked if respondents had any access requirements, with up to 2.5% saying yes.
