- our endorsement or promotion
- use of our premises
- access to our mailing lists
- advice on recruitment.

Standard for Sex, Gender, Variations of Sex Characteristics and Sexual Orientation Variables

This is available online for use by other government, academic and private sector organisations in their own statistical collections to improve the comparability and quality of data.
