On 31st March 2023, in accordance with our obligations under our ICAEW authorisation for the provisioning of Probate Services we carried out a Diversity Survey of our Partners and Staff.
The full results of this survey have been provided to the ICAEW for aggregation at an industry wide level. However, so that we comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 (UK GDPR) and do not breach workers’ confidentiality or reveal anything which might enable someone to work out information about another person which was provided in confidence, we have aggregated some results across our entire firm and have only published less sensitive data.
We remain committed to a policy of inclusion with equal opportunities to all, both internally, and during the recruitment process.
