Athena SWAN
The Athena SWAN Charter is an initiative for recognising the advancement of gender equality in higher education and research in the STEMM (science, technology, engineering, medicine and maths) disciplines as well as in arts, humanities, social sciences, business and law. Athena SWAN requires departments to demonstrate activities in gender equality and an achievement record in continually working towards equality in career progression.
We have an Athena SWAN Silver Award which recognises our commitment to good practice in recruiting, retaining and supporting the careers of women and advancing gender equality. We work to ensure our processes are fair, flexible, accessible and transparent to provide an inclusive and positive workplace culture for all staff and students.
