Equality, Diversity and Inclusion<\/h2>\n

Rachel Cowen, Professor of Inclusive Researcher and Academic Development<\/strong><\/p>\n

University Academic Lead for Gender and Sexual Orientation Equality<\/p>\n

The ICAT programme and its partner organisations are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). Without diversity of thought, perspective and background, and a responsible and inclusive culture and approach to research and academic clinical career development we are restricting ideas, standards, the quality of our research and the range of evidence based solutions and health and social care challenges we can address.<\/p>\n

We are working towards 3 EDI priorities to ensure an inclusive environment and culture, training and support to enable diverse careers and inclusive research to thrive; Diversity and Equity across our Community through our inclusive policies, practice and guidance in recruitment and training; and Inclusive practice by monitoring the impact of the programme and meaningfully listening to the experiences of our diverse community.<\/p>\n

All ACFs should undertake University of Manchester mandatory EDI training and research integrity training and will be supported through the ICAT programme to embed EDI in their research approach.<\/p>\n

We have a zero tolerance of bullying, harassment and discrimination re-enforced through the University of Manchester Dignity@Work and Study Policy. All ACFs should read and understand the policy. If you or someone you know has experienced or witnessed any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination, gender based violence, hate or micro-aggressions, or have a safeguarding concern, you can report it anonymously or get support from a trained advisor through our confidential report and support system: Report + Support – University of Manchester<\/a><\/p>\n
