Our team is made up of enthusiastic champions representing academics and professional services staff across all career levels and areas of the Faculty. We are enthusiastic and motivated and meet regularly – normally once a month - to assess feedback, review progress and propose and implement actions that will benefit both men and women.
We communicate informally through outreach to our colleagues, the Faculty newsletter, mailing lists, as well as running Faculty Athena Swan surveys and focus groups.
Our Chair reports directly to our Faculty senior management team to ensure progress is made to reach the goals set by our Athena Swan team.
