We support the University’s aim to provide an inclusive environment which promotes equality and values diversity enabling all individuals to reach their full potential whatever their background or personal circumstances. We provide guidance on best practice for both day to day activities, and in strategic level planning.
The University is strongly committed to the promotion of equality for all staff, students and visitors; a commitment which is fundamental to the achievement of the University’s Mission to be an agent for social change and inclusion. It is therefore the responsibility of all staff and students to ensure that any form of unfair discrimination is not tolerated, and also to actively promote equality of opportunity for all.
The University specifically aims to ensure that staff and students are not discriminated against on the grounds of the protected characteristics as defined under the Equality Act 2010, of sex, disability, race, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership or pregnancy or maternity.
