Equality, Diversity and Athena SWAN

About

The School of Human and Behavioural Sciences is committed to promoting and enhancing equality, diversity, and inclusion within our School. These principles are embedded throughout our school to ensure staff and students are studying and working in a fair and representative environment.

The Athena SWAN charter is an essential element of this work, and the School currently holds a Bronze level award. The School of Human and Behavioural Sciences was created in 2021, following a merger of the School of Psychology and School of Sport, Health, and Exercise Sciences. Both Schools were awarded Bronze Athena SWAN awards (2019 and 2021) and have been developing and progressing several projects aligned with the Athena SWAN charter.

The Team

To support this essential work the school has established an Equality, Diversity and Athena Swan committee (also known as the Self-Assessment Team; SAT) which is made up of a variety of staff and students across all areas of the School.

The group’s main aims are:
•    Assess gender equality in the School and identify challenges and opportunities;
•    To develop and execute an action plan to embed Equality and Diversity into the everyday operation of the School;
•    To help develop and maintain a positive organisational structure and culture with Equality and Diversity in work and learning environments.

Dr Eleri Sian Jones is the Lead for Equality, Diversity and Athena Swan lead in the School. If you have any queries or would like to be involved in this work then please do get in touch.
