sombrefanSo when you apply for a job in Northern Ireland, the law requires that an equal opportunities form gets filled in to help ensure that discrimination doesn't play a part in the selection process. The info is confidential and the interview panel doesn't get to see it. Anyhow here's the latest version plus the options. Note that some of the info asked for will be different than what gets asked for in mainland Britain.
