Staff Networks
There are a number of different ways staff and students can get involved in Diversity and Equality through committees, forums, staff networks and groups.
Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Staff Network
The BAME Staff Network is open to all University staff who identify as Black, Asian or from an Ethnic Minority. The term Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic does not refer to skin colour; the emphasis is on the common experience of people of African, African-Caribbean, Asian and other non-UK origins.
