Help shape the University’s approach to gender equality, sign up to a Consultation Event to share your views.
The University was awarded Athena SWAN Bronze Institution status in 2013 in recognition of its commitment to gender equality in Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and Medicine (STEMM) disciplines.
In May 2015 the Athena SWAN Charter expanded and its principles now extend to:
- Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Business, and Law (AHSSBL) disciplines;
- non-academic staff;
- work to support Trans people; and
- the impact of intersectionality on experiences of working and studying in higher education.
The University is applying for a new Institutional Bronze Award in April 2016 in recognition of its commitment to gender equality, more generally, and not solely barriers to progression that affect academic women.
An Action Plan is currently being developed and to help with this Consultation Events are being held over the next 6 weeks. All staff are invited to take part.
These events are relevant to many groups and will cover a range of topics, including: Flexible Working; Managing Career Breaks; Key Career Transition Points and Career Development; Experiences of Parents and Carers; and Organisational Culture and Practice
