The IoO Equality Challenge Team promotes and enhances equality, diversity and inclusion to benefit all staff and students.

Equality Challenge is embedded in the institute through the development of policies and guidelines.聽We create initiatives to support and promote good culture and career progression for all groups at the institute. Using feedback gathered from departmental events, focus groups and surveys, we aim to put the experience聽of all staff and students at the centre聽of everything we do.

Our remit:

• To identify and remove systemic barriers for progression at the Institute.聽
• To embed equality, diversity and inclusion across the IoO in all areas of activity: leadership, culture, and career development.聽
• To advocate on behalf of all protected characteristics.聽
• To actively and effectively聽tackle聽bullying and harassment to improve workplace culture.聽
• To raise awareness of good practice both within and beyond our community.聽

List of funders with anti-bullying/anti-harassment culture

To address cultural issues such as bullying and harassment within our department, the ECT has produced a聽list of funders which stipulate adherence to an anti-bullying and harassment culture as part of their funding requirements.聽Each of these funders requires that universities notify them of any/all investigations that are formally started.
