EDI Forum

Central to the governance structure is the EDI Forum which acts as a central forum for discussion, reflection, university-wide evaluation of progress against EDI ambition, and sharing of best-practice

The Forum brings together the School, Department and College EDI Committee Chairs (across both academic and Professional Services), the Champions Network, the Chairs of Staff Support Networks and the Students' Union.  Cross-over membership between the different network levels ensures a fully diverse and inclusive network and maintains open and clear communication channels.facilitates a ‘bottom up’, co-creation approach to EDI, employing a World Café format, where all staff work together towards diversity and inclusion goals for mutual benefit. This approach forms the basis of university-wide evaluation and allows the sharing of initiatives and transformational practice.
