Case Study 2: Equalities and Diversity

The results of the UCL staff survey were analysed and discussed by UCL’s equality groups. This analysis has influenced a range of activities across the institution.

The survey results heavily influenced the activities planned by the 50:50 group as part of the institutional Athena SWAN application for a Silver award (result pending).

Similarly, the results are shared at departmental level which has influenced their own Athena SWAN applications and action plans (please see all successful applications here). Discussions of the results have led to department level actions such as improved career development support for early career researchers, better communication of UCL policies and additional support through promotion and appraisal. 

The LGBTQ+ Equality Advisory Group also reviewed the staff survey data, which influenced their activities and subsequent submission to Stonewall.
