Aims of the group:
• To raise awareness of gender equality at UCL;
• To analyse staff and student gender data to identify areas of concern;
• To help develop practical solutions to address issues of underrepresentation of women at senior levels and occupational and discipline segregation;

The group will achieve this by:

Membership
When a vacancy arises, membership of the group is open to any member of staff who supports the aims of the group. However it is important that the group contains a balance of academic and support staff at all grades and an equal representation of men and women.
Responsibilities of members:
• Members must maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information;
• Members are expected to contribute in some way to the group;
• Members are encouraged to attend events organised by the group.
The group will meet once each term and will report to the Committee for Equal Opportunities (CEO). The Gender Champion will also be invited to attend at least one meeting a year.
