Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We advocate equality, diversity and inclusion and provide a good working environment for our staff.
School of Medicine EDI Pledge
Our community
The strength of our School comes from the richness of talents and backgrounds that people bring to us. We value and celebrate that diversity and seek to create a community that is as supportive and inclusive as possible.
Whatever your background:
- your gender identity or sex
- your ethnicity
- your abilities, disabilities and long term conditions
- your relationship, caring or parental responsibilities
- your sexuality
- your age
- your faith or political beliefs
- your financial status
you belong and are very welcome in our School of Medicine.
We recognise that people hold multiple, intersecting identities, and that experiences of inclusion or exclusion can be shaped by these intersections.
We will not tolerate hate, discrimination, victimisation or harassment and will do whatever we can to eliminate it. We want a community where staff and students flourish without fear and are free to achieve their potential.
We are committed to continuous review of our recruitment, curriculum, training, outcomes and behaviours in order to make our School a safe and welcoming community.
