Diversity Data Report 2023

This data is based upon submitted diversity questionnaires from staff and represents the reported diversity data in relation to our firm. We comply with our SRA requirements and the guidance by the Information Commissioners Office. As a result, we are not required or permitted to publish any data which might identify one of our employees. We do not have to include information relating to religion or belief, sexual orientation or transgender.

It is our view that the terms used in this report are self-explanatory but if more information is required please email Simon Nellar at sfn@hethertons.co.uk.

This report is due to be reviewed in August 2025.
