The Equality Act 2010 places a general Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) on all public bodies, including higher education institutions. The duty requires all public bodies to proactively take steps to:
-
Eliminate discrimination, victimisation and harassment
-
Advance equality of opportunity between groups of people of diverse backgrounds and with diverse needs
-
Foster and promote good relations between such groups of people.
The equality duty is supported by three specific duties:
-
To publish information to demonstrate compliance with the equality duty, at least annually
-
To set and publish one or more specific and measurable equality objective, at least every four years
-
To publish equality information and equality objectives in a manner that is accessible to the public.
The School's equality information
The monitoring reports included below provide a comprehensive set of tables and charts for governance, staff and students across a wide range of participation and progress indicators at an institutional level.
The School recognises that it is both a requirement and good practice for all interested parties to know the composition of its student body and workforce so that issues of under-representation can be addressed and unmet need provided for.
Accessibility
If you would like more information about anything contained within the reports, or if you require the information in alternative formats (for example, braille, large print or audio), please contact the EDI team.
