Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative at GOS ICH - ‘A VOICE FOR ALL’ We recognise that access and treatment is not always equal for everyone and want to redress the balance. We wish to foster a positive cultural climate which will allows staff and students to flourish and ensures that each person’s contribution to the work of this Institute is valued and respected. We recognise that this requires commitment and action from everyone - at all levels of the organisation - and that cultures and attitudes need to be changed.

Black Lives Matter

The UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health believes Black Lives Matter.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Initiative consists of a Steering Committee and a number of Focus Groups
The Steering Committee has oversight of EDI work at GOS ICH and is responsible for preparing and submitting the Institute’s Athena SWAN application and for implementing the Athena SWAN Action Plan
The remit of the Focus Groups is to address issues that have been prioritised by staff and students at GOS ICH and to represent and ‘voice’ the needs of the different sections of the ICH community
The Focus Groups are open to all staff and students based at GOS ICH. We hope you will make use of the Focus Groups to voice any concerns you may have or to bring positive ideas for change to the attention of the EDI Steering Committee
