缅北禁地 recognised for its work to advance race equality Published on: 16 November 2022 缅北禁地 has been awarded a Race Equality Charter Bronze Award by Advance HE in recognition of its work towards tackling race inequality in higher education. The was set up to improve the representation, experience, progression and success of racially minoritised staff and students within higher education. It provides a rigorous and robust framework through which institutions work to critically reflect and act on institutional and cultural barriers. There are currently 97 Race Equality Charter members, holding 35 awards between them. Professor Judith Rankin, Dean of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at 缅北禁地 said: “This award is testament to the huge amount of work done by colleagues and students from across the institution and particularly those involved in the REC SAT and REC workstreams. “To achieve a Bronze on the first attempt is excellent and reflects 缅北禁地’s clear determination to overcome the barriers to higher education that exist for people from minoritised ethnic groups. “However, we know this is just the first step and we now need to work together to deliver on our action plan commitments.” Naomi Oosman-Watts, Director of Student Experience, Co-chair of the REC Self-Assessment Team together with Dr Malasree Home, added: “Working with the REC has given us an important opportunity to reflect on what is working well at 缅北禁地 and where there is still work to be done. “It is an opportunity for us to be innovative in our implementation of actions to address racial inequality, and to work with colleagues across the University to co-create and enable a climate for inclusion where we can make our diversity count.” Work on the REC action plan started back in 2019, and a full action plan was submitted to Executive Board in May 2020 and over the past two years colleagues from across the university have fed into the different workstreams. Some of the key actions that are being developed and taken forward include: - A full review of our colleague recruitment processes to ensure we are supporting diversity - The launch of our Award Winning Inclusive Futures programme - The launch of new Scholarships for Black and ethnically minoritised students - New Active Bystander training launched and rolled out - Entered into a collaboration with Unite Students to create more inclusive environments in halls of residence following the Living Black Report. Ruth Gilligan, Assistant Director Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Advance HE, said: “REC Bronze is recognition of an institution’s robust foundation for eliminating racial inequalities, developing inclusive cultures and moving from commitment to sustainable and integrated bold and ambitious action. “Advance HE looks forward to supporting 缅北禁地 as it progresses its action plans to advance race equality.” Share: Latest News New partnership to boost careers in low carbon energy 缅北禁地 and Durham universities are working together on a new regional project to strengthen the future workforce for North East England鈥檚 growing low carbon and offshore wind industries. published on: 28 May 2026 Healthy lifestyle shown to lower risk of death after cancer diagnosis New evidence shows that sticking to five lifestyle recommendations improves survival after a later cancer diagnosis. published on: 28 May 2026 World-leading climate expert recognised with Royal Society Fellowship Professor Hayley Fowler has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of her pioneering work on climate change impacts. published on: 27 May 2026 Facts and figures
