Athena Swan Charter (framework which is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education (HE) and research) information:

In October 2018 SHS was awarded Silver Interim Athena Swan award. Here is a copy of our SHS Athena Swan Silver Award application and Silver Award logo that can be used in e-mail signatures and any other documents when needed. In 2024 all three schools joined forces and submitted one Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health Athena SWAN application and were successfully awarded a Faculty Silver Award! You can read more about it here.

For advise on how to evidence SR/EDI activities in your P&DR see this webpage:

and here is the link to document intended to be a trigger for ideas as to how you might bring and embed Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility into your own professional daily activities (including examples for research, teaching and learning, PPIE, recruitment, event planning, and more), to support an inclusive, diverse and respectful culture in FBMH.
