Equality, diversity and inclusion
Learn more about what equality, diversity and inclusion means at the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and access information and support
At the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³», we believe that diversity enriches our community and helps everyone to thrive. We are committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming and respectful environment where students, staff and visitors feel valued, supported and empowered to succeed. Through our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Plan, we work to advance equality of opportunity, challenge discrimination, celebrate difference and foster a strong sense of belonging for all. Guided by our values and informed by the experiences of our diverse community, we continuously review our progress and take meaningful action to ensure that inclusion is embedded across every aspect of university life.
Valuing each other's varied contributions means we can all achieve more. That's why we support a diverse community through our equality objectives.
Our policies and guidance are designed with our staff networks and UPSU to ensure they are fully representative of everyone in our community.
Our inclusion planners are here to help everyone celebrate, commemorate and recognise important events throughout the academic year.
