Applicant Self-Identification Questions

In accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code, HDSB’s Teacher Hiring Practices Administrative Procedure, HDSB’s Employment Equity Policy, and Ontario’s Anti-Racism Data Standards, the HDSB collects voluntary self-identification data from applicants. This information aims to achieve an inclusive, diverse, and representative workforce by identifying and removing barriers for equity-deserving communities throughout the hiring process. Encouraging workforce diversity that reflects the community is paramount.

This data is collected under the authority of the Anti-Racism Act, 2017, and in compliance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The information will inform our understanding of applicant pool diversity, hiring process progress, and strategies for creating an inclusive and equitable workforce. Any information provided will be shared with the hiring manager and/or committee members.

Requirements

While hiring policies adhere to qualification requirements set out in applicable Regulations (e.g., Regulation 298, “Operation of Schools – General”) and collective agreement provisions, the Board values:

• Applicants’ additional experience, lived experience, skills, backgrounds, and perspectives.
• Granting first consideration, where skills, ability, and qualifications are relatively equal, to applicants who self-identify as members of historically under-represented communities.

We encourage you to respond to our voluntary applicant self-identification questions. Questions about this collection can be directed to Dixon Mohammed, Manager, Recruitment, Selection and Staffing, at mohammedd@hdsb.ca.
