Under the DCWP rules the summary states the audit date, the data source and type, the number of applicants or candidates in each category, and the selection or scoring rates and impact ratios, and must remain posted for at least six months after the tool was last used.

## What an organisation does about it

Post the audit summary and distribution date on the careers page before go-live and refresh it with each annual audit.
