Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Newcastle is an inclusive community where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive community in which every individual feels valued. Our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is underpinned by our EDI Srategy which guides our efforts to ensure that all colleagues and students thrive in a values-led environment.

Our EDI team, with the support of our Executive Board, work with all departments to embed EDI principles and cultivate a culture of inclusion. We achieve this through:

  • colleague networks
  • investing in innovative activities through the establishment of a University fund specifically to support EDI initiatives
  • developing a range of resources to promote inclusive practices
  • engaging with national EDI charters
  • publishing equality objectives and annual EDI reports

We invite you to join is in promoting equality, embracing diversity, and ensuring that everyone at the University feels a sense of belonging and can flourish.
