Survey on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in BTEC qualifications
At Pearson, we are committed to ensuring that equity, diversity, and inclusion are embedded into
everything we do. Our qualifications and assessments should reflect the wide diversity of our learners.
This survey focuses on the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion implications for how you teach and assess particular BTEC qualifications, understand how you implement adjustments, and identify any areas where Pearson need to make changes to help ensure all learners have equitable opportunities to access our qualifications, assessments, related products and services.
Please consider these questions from all aspects of the Equality Act (2010)'s protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnerships, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
We would appreciate your feedback by Friday 1st July 2022.
