Spotlight on….the BAME Staff Network group
15 Oct 2020
We continue our monthly look at our different Staff Network Groups with a focus on ethnicity in October
The theme for October in the Diversity Calendar concentrates on Black History Month and we can understand what action still needs to be taken to address under representation for our BAME staff.
We have a very active BAME Staff Network at the University and they have for years, put on awareness raising events, promoted race equality and influenced the University in many important policy decisions. You can read more about their aims, activities and how to become more involved on their pages here:
The Group are currently in the middle of their events for Black History Month, but you can see what’s happened and what else is to come here:

And many of the members contribute to the Race Equality Chartermark – the University currently holds a bronze Award. If you would like to know more about the REC, then there is more information here:
Remember that staff network groups are open to anyone regardless of any Equality Group and so we hope you find one or more that you can participate in.
