Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Responsibility Group


Home / About / Equality, Diversity and Inclusion / EDISRG

The Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Responsibility Group has responsibility for ensuring the development and delivery of the University’s EDISR strategy.

The Group will:

  • Promote, champion and encourage a culture where EDISR is embedded across the University in every aspect of work and where staff and students feel comfortable to be themselves
  • Challenge the University on its practice, approach and development of EDISR; in particular where progress is limited or, in support of underrepresented or disadvantaged individuals/groups
