Diversity at St James's Piccadilly

1. About this survey

 
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is building a strategy to improve diversity and inclusion at St James’s. Our goal is to create a more diverse and inclusive church community. As part of this effort, we need to understand how diverse we already are, so that we can start to identify where we need to do better - and measure our progress in future.

This survey is completely anonymous. Taking part is up to you – you do not have to participate, and you need answer only those questions you wish to.

The questions are worded in the same way as in the 2021 Census.

 
It will take about five minutes to complete. The deadline for submitting completed surveys is 30th September 2021.

How your information will be used
The information you give is completely anonymous – we don’t ask for your name. To guard against the risk of any individual person being identified from their answers, only two members of the PCC (Ali Beck and Wilson Wong), our Parish Secretary, David Hamilton-Peters, and our Rector, The Revd Lucy Winkett, will have access to the anonymous raw data. Responses will be grouped together (aggregated) before the findings are shared. 

The survey data will be stored securely and kept totally separate from the main ChurchSuite database. The raw data will be deleted after one year.

The summarised findings will be shared with the St James's community this autumn. The findings are also likely to be shared with grant-making organisations and other funders of our church.

In a year's time, we plan to run the survey again to see if things have changed.


If you have any questions about the survey, please get in touch with Ali Beck, Ros Fane, or Wilson Wong from the PCC at diversityinclusionsjp@gmail.com or have a chat with them in person.

If you answer no, please enter the term you use to describe your gender in the write-in box. This is voluntary, so you can leave it blank if you prefer.
