The University of BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 is currently developing a Single Equality Scheme. This scheme will set out our commitments to continue making the university a more equitable place to work and study in and identify ways to enhance our diversity and build on the strength this provides locally and internationally.

In developing this we want to hear your views: What do you think are the main issues for you and your colleagues? What do you think the university should do in the future it is not already doing? Which areas should we focus on first? Your views will help to shape the scheme and the actions we need to take.

Come along to one of the focus groups we are organising in February to give us your views? you can come along to a meeting at any of these times:

Monday 8th 1pm-2pm 4pm-5pm

Tuesday 9th 1pm-2pm 4pm-5pm

Wednesday 10th 1pm-2pm 4pm-5pm

Thursday 11th 1pm-2pm 4pm-5pm

Friday 12th 1pm-2pm 4pm-5pm

All the groups will be held in building 37 on Highfield Campus and lunch and refreshments will be provided.

The new scheme will be looking at issues to do with race and ethnicity, disability, gender (for both men and women), transgender, sexual orientation, age, and religion and belief. You will of course have the opportunity to raise any other issues you think are relevant to this area.

If you are particularly interested in one of these areas please let us know when you book so we can organise the groups appropriately.

We look forward to hearing your views, if you would like more background on the Single Equality Scheme please email Kamaljit Kerridge-Poonia on K.Kerridge-Poonia@soton.uk if you would like to book a place on a focus group please email Sunny Takhar Sunny.Takhar@soton.ac.uk
