Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

At the University of Stirling, we are committed to continuing creating opportunities for all of our staff to ‘Be The Difference’ within a culture of inclusivity, openness and fairness. Inclusion is at the heart of our People Strategy, and we are proud to have taken a deliberate and sustained approach to tackling inequalities and building a fairer, more equitable workplace.

We are proud to hold an Athena Swan Silver Award - the national charter recognising best practice in advancing women’s careers in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine.

We do not tolerate harassment, victimisation or unjustified discrimination. We aim to maintain a culture inclusive of all sections of society.

We see the promotion and mainstreaming of equality and diversity as integral to all that we do. Our goal is to create and nurture a University culture and environment based on fairness, equality and cultural diversity:

• We meet the requirements of the 2010 Equality Act, the public sector equality duty and Scottish specific equality regulations.
• We promote equality, diversity and inclusion through a variety of policies and initiatives.
• We publish a range of information and data that outlines our commitment to mainstreaming equality.
