Athena Swan Silver Award

We are absolutely delighted to have achieved a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of the impact the Department’s actions and initiatives have made, and are making, on gender equality. The award reflects substantial effort from everyone in the Department to embed equality, diversity and inclusion in all our activities. This includes recruitment and promotion practices for staff and students, support for staff taking maternity leave, the promotion of female role models and the development of transparent workload models. We appreciate that the culture of valuing equality, diversity and inclusion improves the working environment for everyone.
