EDI Committee

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee

The School’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee was established in 2020 in response to the creation of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences EDI Committee.

The College EDI Committee feeds into the University’s EDI Committee and, ultimately, to the University’s Senior Leadership Team.

Together, we work towards enhancing the School environment and building a brighter future for all.

Focus and Remit

The EDI Committee focuses on EDI issues concerning staff, with a view to mainstreaming EDI work within the School. Its remit is:

to achieve greater awareness within SPS of EDI issues, as well as of the impact of discrimination;
to review and monitor relevant EDI data within SPS and to direct action on identified trends where necessary;
to advise on, initiate and facilitate changes to the culture, environment and working practices within SPS;
to develop and proactively facilitate implementation of a School EDI Action Plan.
