Diversity, Inclusion & Equality in Psychology
We value diversity in our staff and students and promote an inclusive and welcoming culture.
Our strategy
Our approach to equality, diversity and inclusion is underpinned by:
- Equality strategy
- Dignity and respect policy
We treat all staff and students courteously and fairly, irrespective of:
- gender

- marital or parental status
- ethnic origin
- sexual orientation
- disability
- age
- religious or political beliefs
The School encourages staff attendance at equality and diversity events and has funds available for staff and students to attend these.
