Members of our St Mary's staff and student community are vital in helping us create a more diverse, equal, and inclusive campus.
Whether a student or member of staff, we hope you will join us in these efforts.
Our six Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Staff Networks are key to operational delivery of the People Strategy and engaging staff in this work.
The network leads work closely with the SU to ensure collaboration and promotion of activity to students, as well as staff, as relevant. The networks produce an enormous amount of opportunities for engagement in EDI-related initiatives, particularly in terms of events open to staff and students. The networks also provide consultation to senior leadership on best practice for addressing EDI-related issues on campus.
The networks report into the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Board to ensure a joined up approach to delivering EDI initiatives across the University, and to enable collaboration across the networks. Find out more about each of the networks, including how you can get involved.
There are a range of student-run groups at St Mary's - as well as societies managed by the Students' Union - related to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and more.
St Mary's Equality Charters efforts are driven by teams of staff and students from across the University.
