Inclusion is one of the Aberdeen University’s top strategic priorities.Key successes achieved in 2019 include:

Strengthening the governance of equality and diversity: the remit and membership of the previous Advisory Group on Equality and Diversity was reviewed and a new committee formed with a more strategic focus, and a remit to oversee and be accountable for the University’s strategy on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion for staff and students

Hosting a successful Inclusion Week in March that celebrated the diverse staff and student communities on campus with a range of events.

Publishing an updated Equality and Diversity Policy: ‘inclusion’ is now incorporated into the policy to demonstrate the breadth of the diversity agenda. In addition, we highlight our commitment for our community not to be ‘bystanders’ to inequality or unfair treatment. We have a stronger reference to intersectionality which refers to how the protected characteristics link together and a recognition that individuals identify with more than one of the protected characteristics

Engagement with all University Stakeholder is vital to continue developing with our initiatives, if you would like to get involved please contact Janine Chalmers, Equality & Diversity Adviser, by email [email protected] or Maria-Grazia Cascio, Athena SWAN Co-ordinator, by email [email protected], or Rhiannon Thompson, Athena SWAN Officer, by email [email protected]

For 2020 it is important that we continue to focus on embedding our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion aims and build on the success of 2019 with a focus on:

Implementing the Staff and Student Transgender Policy

Taking forward work on the Race Equality Charter

Continuing the work of the Equality Research Group who are collating data on the impact of equality issues in strategic areas of importance for the University such as the National Student Survey and the REF exercise

Supporting the University and School applications for continued Athena Swan Recognition

Developing Unconscious bias observer training

Implementing a Dignity at Work and Study policy - The aim of this policy is to underline the University’s commitment that behaviour which can be construed as harassment, bullying or discrimination is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. This policy will set out a framework for raising, addressing and resolving issues about individual and/or organisational behaviour and will signpost areas where people can get help.

Running 2020 Inclusion Week to celebrate and learn from our diverse University Community

Enhance our Equality & Diversity training for employees.

Celebrate the Black History Month

Engagement with all University Stakeholder is vital to continue developing with our initiatives, if you would like to get involved please contact Janine Chalmers, Equality & Diversity Adviser, by email [email protected] or Maria-Grazia Cascio, Athena SWAN Co-ordinator, by email [email protected], or Rhiannon Thompson, Athena SWAN Officer, by email [email protected]
