Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry & Health : Our Equality & Diversity action

Our commitment:

The Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health is committed to achieving Excellence through Inclusion

Our goal:

To create a faculty culture which is recognised as an inclusive and supportive place to work and study, where people consider equality and diversity in all aspects of their work, and where our processes and practices support the creation of this culture.

Our action plan:

We will do this by addressing potential inequalities, and pro-actively identifying and sharing existing good practice. The actions in our plan have been developed as a result of: our review of faculty staff data; key equality and diversity related University priorities; and the wider context. Find out more via the link on the right of this page.

Reviewing our success:

We aim to provide a faculty culture where staff and students from all backgrounds feel included and are encouraged to reach their full potential. We will continue to review our progress towards achieving this through the following routes:

1. The Faculty Executive Board will review(a) our ETI action plan and progress against it and (b) the Faculty Equality & Diversity data annually
2. Progress and key issues will be discussed with the University’s Equality and Diversity Board (EDB), as part of its review cycle, and reported through EDB to the University Council.
