Diversity Information Form

The EIF (Equalities Information Form) will be replaced by the Diversity Information Form (DIF), which will be communicated and made available via EQuiP in December 2021.  I will collect equality information at the first point of contact allowing me to recognise the needs of people on probation (PoP) helping to engage with a complex and diverse range of PoPs to inform assessments, sentencing proposals and planning.  I will complete this form on all unknown PoPs and ensure that information is checked and updated on those PoPs already known to the Probation Service.  The form will be launched at the national court event in November supported by three bite sized learning videos. This form enables us to better understand our population in terms of protected characteristics, which will help to ensure that the services we commission locally better meet the needs of our PoPs.
