Launch of Equality and Diversity website and Monitoring Report

The Equality and Diversity Team have launched a new-look equality and diversity website which features a report monitoring equal opportunities in employment at the University.

The report compares information gathered from Equal Opportunities Monitoring Surveys carried out ten years apart - one in 1992 and one in 2002. It looks at the percentage changes in staff demographics including age, disability, ethnicity and gender. The University is committed to promoting equality, diversity and an inclusive and supportive environment for students, staff and others closely associated with the University. In particular, the University seeks to ensure that people are treated equitably regardless of their gender, race, colour, ethnic or national origins, age, disability, socio-economic background, religious or political beliefs and affiliations, marital status, family responsibilities, sexual orientation or other inappropriate distinction. Senior Personnel Officer Dean Horsman said: "The purpose of the report was to assess the impact of our policies and, along with the new website, promote equality and diversity at the University as part of the development of related strategies and targets."

A summary of the report, which gives an overview of the main findings and compares the outcomes from both surveys, can be found on the new-look Equality and Diversity website at www.bradford.ac.uk/equality

The full report is also available by contacting the Equality & Diversity Unit via e-mail at equality@bradford.ac.uk or by visiting www.bradford.ac.uk/equality/actionplansandreports (University only)

Alternatively telephone 01274 (23) 5347.
