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. My practitioners will collect equality information at the first point of contact. I will make my team aware, that they are to 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 video. This form enables me to better understand our population in terms of protected characteristics, which will help to ensure that the services we commission locally, better meets the needs of our PoPs.
