Carol Costello, Director of People and Services talks about how we support our LGBTQIA+ staff and students and how we raise awareness of LGBTQIA+ matters.
Events and projects
We engage in a wide variety of events and activities to mark LGBTQIA+ dates. These include LGBT History Month, Trans Day of Visibility, Pride Month, and Liverpool Pride. Find out more about these events.
Find out about the history of LGBTQIA+ people at the University by visiting our online timeline and resource page. Originally developed as a physical exhibition, you can track how LGBTQIA+ issues have been experienced by staff and students at the University.
Stonewall Diversity Champion
We have been a member of the Stonewall Diversity Champion Programme since 2009. The principle aim of the initiative is to ensure that LGBTQIA+ employees are supported in the workplace.
Reading and Learning resources
The University Libraries hold an extensive collection of LGBTQIA+ books, journals and database resources; including eReading Lists.
Networks
The University supports a number of LGBTQIA+ networks and groups, including:
- Staff & Postgraduate Student LGBT+ Network
- Trans and Non-Binary Peer Support Network
- LGBT+ Society (Liverpool Guild of Students)
- Queer+ Trans People of Colour (QTPOC) Society (Liverpool Guild of Students)
- Queer Medics (Liverpool Guild of Students)
- Queer Students of Architecture Collective

Being a part of the LGBT+ staff network, feels incredibly empowering. It has given me the opportunity to meet colleagues from across the University, grow in confidence and contribute to the wider equality agenda.
