Viewpoint: A place where you matter
03 Nov 2026
Executive Director of EDI Sarah Fox reflects on the close of our first EDI Strategy, the launch of our new EDI Framework, and what this shift means for embedding inclusion across the University
Last year, we launched From Manchester, For the World, our strategy to 2035. Our new EDI Framework - A Place Where You Matter - is central to delivering that ambition, moving us from ‘doing EDI’ through standalone initiatives to becoming an inclusive university by design.
In her Viewpoint blog, Sarah explores what we’ve achieved, what we’ve learned, and why closing the gap between institutional progress and lived experience is our defining goal for the decade ahead.
