Gender Equality Sub-Group

The Gender Equality Sub-Group is a thematic committee of the University Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee (EDIC).

The gender sub-group has developed an ambitious action plan, to extend the work of our overarching Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee to deliver on our strategic Equality Outcomes, and to close our Gender Pay Gap. This action plan was approved by University Executive at its meeting on 15th February 2022.
