Research-Informed Workplace Screener

Workplace Bias
Awareness Screener

A workplace screener covering eight areas, including pregnancy, maternity and family. It looks at how you explain colleagues' behaviour, how you apply standards when you judge people and what you do when you see unfair treatment, with paired situations that show where judgements shift depending on who is involved.

You are buying the Workplace Bias Awareness Screener for your own use. Aperio Profiles, trading under Liberation Academy Ltd, is the data controller. We use your email address, your payment record, and your screener answers and results to fulfil this purchase and give you your results. Our lawful basis is the contract between us (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR). Payment is processed by Stripe, and we never see or store your card details. The screener does not ask about your own ethnicity, health, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics, so it asks for no special category data. The reflection questions at the end are optional, and anything you write in them is not stored. How long we keep it: your raw answers are deleted or anonymised about 90 days after your report is produced. Your results are kept while your Aperio account is active; if you do not have an Aperio account, they are deleted 24 months after your last activity. Access codes and session tokens are kept for up to 12 months. Consent and payment records are kept for 6 years. You can ask us to delete your data at any time by emailing enquiries@liberationacademy.co.uk. Our privacy policy at bias.aperioprofiles.co.uk/privacy has the full details.

Assessment Structure

Eight areas. Every kind of decision.

Each person answers a balanced selection from a larger bank, so across an organisation every group and kind of decision is covered. Situations and practice statements are combined into a result for each area.

Paired workplace situations

In each area, one situation involves a particular group and a comparable, different situation does not, so nobody answers the same story twice. Which story carries the group detail is randomised for each person. Drawn from a bank of 96 situations covering hiring, promotion, feedback, pay, work allocation, flexible working and everyday interaction.

Workplace practice

Statements about how you apply standards when you judge colleagues and candidates, about conduct rather than beliefs.

Speaking up

What you would do if you saw a colleague treated unfairly. Reported separately from your area results.

Results by decision

Your answers grouped by the kind of decision involved, so you can see where your judgement is most and least consistent.

Answer checks

Answer order is shuffled for every person, and the report notes if answers were given too fast to have been read.

Coverage

Eight areas

Gender

Whether the same behaviour, such as directness, emotion or caring commitments, is read differently in men and women.

Race / Ethnicity

Whether communication, appearance and 'fit' are judged against one cultural default.

Disability / Neurodivergence / Health

Whether different ways of working, communicating or processing are read as shortcomings.

Age

Assumptions about technology, change and career runway linked to age.

Socioeconomic Background

Whether accent, polish and mobility are treated as signs of ability or ambition.

Religion / Belief

Whether religious observance and dress are treated as a cost or as a normal part of working life.

Sexual Orientation / Gender Identity

Whether LGBT+ colleagues are held to the same standard as everyone else.

Pregnancy, Maternity and Family

Assumptions about pregnancy, parental leave, new parents and people who might start a family.

Your Results

Strengths, patterns, and what to do next

Your report shows where your answers were consistent and situational, and where they leaned towards personal explanations or norm-based judgements.

Each area marked Developing or Focus area comes with practical changes to how you make judgements, such as agreeing criteria in advance and testing decisions by swapping who is involved.

Awareness

Your answers in this area were mostly situational and consistent.

Developing

Some answers leaned towards personal explanations or norm-based judgements. Worth some attention.

Focus area

Answers leaned clearly that way. The best place to start.

Data and Privacy

Your responses belong to you

Nothing personal asked

The screener does not ask about your own ethnicity, health, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics.

Individual results stay individual

If your access was organisation-purchased, your employer sees only an organisation-wide count of completed screeners, never your results.

Reflections are not kept

The optional written reflections are not scored, not sent to any third party for analysis and not stored. They are included in your results email and then discarded.

Scored on our own servers

Your answers are scored by a fixed method on our servers. No AI service is involved.
