Equality Audit

The TUC publishes a biennial equality audit. The first audit was carried out in 2003 and provides a yardstick to measure progress on equality issues across all union activities.

Audits alternate between focusing on how unions pursue equality issues through collective bargaining and on how union membership, rules and internal structures reflect the diversity of the workforce.

The audit was established after a TUC rule change in 2001, which committed the TUC and unions to promote equality in all aspects of our work. All TUC affiliated unions are asked to complete a survey for the audit. 

Equality Audit 2026

This year’s equality audit focuses on what steps unions have taken in the last four years to promote equality in their membership, structures and processes, and to ensure they reflect the diversity of our membership. Building a diverse movement, that is reflective of our membership across all levels, is a crucial strategic priority for the TUC.
