Culture

We are committed to progressing an equitable organisational culture in which staff and students are empowered, can be creative and innovative, and seek out opportunities to positively contribute to the societies and environments in which they study, live and work.

Equity, Inclusivity and Care

Ensure equity of access to resources which enhance career development. 3. Ensure Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) work is valued, visible and central to EHS (inward and outward facing) 4. Foster an environment and community that is inclusive and is reflective of everyone, in terms of ‘race’, ethnicity, disability, gender, sexuality, age & health status 5. Diversify the EHS community through internationalisation, widening access and increased flexibility (staff and student) 6. Ensure productive synergies between ‘Internationalisation’ and

‘EDI’ remits, ensuring these are embedded as part of core business throughout research, education and community engagements
