Education, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the School of Education
In the School of Education, we are committed to creating a caring, accessible, and inclusive environment in which everyone feels they belong and may thrive. We welcome, value and embrace diversity in our staff and student body, such as differences in nationality, cultural backgrounds, race, ethnicity, disability, age, class, religion or belief, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
We aim to embed this commitment to equality, diversity and belonging in our teaching and learning practices, our tutorials, our extensive module choices, our curriculum, student representatives and groups, welfare services, research, and the events and seminars we organise. The School of Education does not tolerate any form of bullying, harassment, or discrimination.
