Equality, diversity and inclusion in the School of Health and Social Work

The creation of the School of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, as a result of merging the Schools of Life and Medical Science and Health and Social Work, has acted to encompass our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) principles under one organisational framework. The information provided on this page specifies the details of the Athena Swan Award and exempla of our strategic actions to ensure gender equality for our staff and students.

The School of Health and Social Work is committed to recognising and addressing gender equality across academia for all students and staff. We were awarded Athena SWAN Bronze status in April 2015 and Silver in November 2018, which acknowledges our ongoing commitment to gender equality. We have recently submitted our Silver renewal application.

Athena SWAN was established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education and research. In 2015, this was expanded to include other fields and a broader range of gender equality issues.
