Objectives for 2024-26

As part of the EDI Report 2023-24, read about our EDI objectives for the next two years.

We have committed to several key actions to deliver over the next two years.  Our actions are aligned to our 3 core themes:

Embedding EDI into core business

Further embed equity considerations within our procurement processes and practices to encourage EDI into our wider supply chain.

Embed our proactive approach to inclusive recruitment furthering our recruitment strategy and advancing our work on positive action.

Take Action to Eliminate Barriers

Develop and implement a plan which is designed to identify and reduce barriers to inclusion.

Undertake a comprehensive review of the employee journey to Identify opportunities to embed EDI principles into every stage.

Develop a strategic action plan of initiatives which increases the representation of under-represented groups within the university, supporting our commitment to reducing median pay gaps.

Foster Inclusion and a Sense of Belonging

Develop a plan which supports all colleagues to understand their role in building an inclusive workplace and how we are all responsible for achieving equality, diversity, and inclusion objectives. 

Develop a range of actions which build an inclusive community, which encourages a sense of belonging through ensuring open and transparent communication channels. Creating an environment where colleagues feel comfortable sharing their feedback and ideas, which are welcomed and valued.
