Equality, Diversity and Inclusion contacts

The Faculty recognises the value of every individual and aims to create an environment that respects the diversity of staff and students and enables them to achieve their full potential.

No individual will be unjustifiably discriminated against and the Faculty of Life Sciences acknowledges the following basic rights for all members:

to be treated with respect and dignity
to be treated fairly with regard to all procedures, assessments and choice
to receive encouragement to reach their full potential

It is our aim to ensure that we actively promote a positive, inspiring and inclusive environment for all of our staff and students regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability.

The School fully supports the Athena SWAN charter to promote the careers of women in science.
