College, Professional Services & Campus Inclusion Groups
On behalf of the relevant College or Professional Services directorate, inclusion groups are chaired by the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Director, Director of College Operations or relevant deputy, who is responsible for providing leadership and strategic direction in relation to all equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) matters affecting staff and students.
The purpose of an inclusion group is to agree priorities, make decisions, commission work and guide the prioritisation of existing budgets to enable success in relation to EDI. Each group nominates an inclusion representative. Being an Inclusion Representative means:
- Representing your College, PS directorate or campus at termly meetings of the University Inclusion Group
- Acting as a key channel of communication between your area and the University Inclusion Group, raising relevant issues and disseminating key information back to your area as appropriate
- Acting as a first point of contact for any staff or students who need signposting to sources of support, such as the Dignity & Respect Advisor Network, HR Business Partners or the Students' Guild or Students' Union advice teams
