Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion sit within our core values as a Union of Students; Students sit at the heart of everything we do: in championing student voice, celebrating diversity and pushing for greater equality.

The Union strives to surpass all our legal obligations and we want to go above and beyond to foster a community where our students and staff feel confident and proud to be themselves. In all derivatives and avenues of the Union, we will ensure our practices and activities across our organisation are inclusive, so every student feels a sense of belonging and equal access to all the development opportunities in which we offer.
