Equality and Diversity at SGUL

The Planning & Secretariat Office is responsible for managing equality and diversity issues at SGUL.  

We have recently appointed an Equality and Diversity Officer, and SGUL is now undertaking a review of current policy and practice in relation to gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion and belief, and age. 

This review will enable us to identify current issues, and to identify changes that we may need to make in order to introduce best practice across the institution.  This work is steered by the Equality and Diversity Committee.
