Is there any evidence that the policy fails to respond to the needs of a particular group?<br />
No – eg the Guaranteed Interview Scheme ensures that applicants with a disability and New<br />
Deal applicants meeting essential criteria are guaranteed an interview.<br />
Where are there gaps in data or non-availability of data which would need to be gathered<br />
in the future to ensure effective monitoring?<br />
Equal opportunities monitoring is carried out for all applicants, including gender, age, caring<br />
responsibilities, ethnic origin and religion. There may be a requirement in future to monitor<br />
by sexual orientation.<br />
