Sex and Gender Identity

The Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination based on sex, gender identity, or gender reassignment. You decide what information to share during the recruitment process, and you shouldn't be asked about your gender identity in interviews. Whether to challenge assumptions is your choice.  

Women, and those who identify as female, are underrepresented in leadership positions and in STEM, finance, and entrepreneurial sectors, among others. The gender pay gap is visible as early as graduation and the Bright Network reports that men are 40% more likely to say they are confident about securing a graduate role than women.
