Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: what we do

On a day to day basis we progress equality through our Equality Outcome Action Plan. The actions have been agreed and are in place to support our equality outcomes.

Progress is reported on quarterly to the University Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (ED&I). The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Office supports action owners to deliver on their actions and mainstream equality within their business area.

University Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee

Chaired by the University Secretary, this committee is a subcommittee of the University Court. It is where the University leadership meets with the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Office and representatives from staff networks, trade unions and student representatives to identify and address any matters related to equality and set out the strategic direction for the University.
