Faculty re-awarded Bronze Athena Swan award

The Faculty is delighted to announce that it has again been awarded the Bronze Athena Swan Award following a re-application last year.

The application was made through the hard work of the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee with the support of Faculty professional services staff.

The Faculty of Law is committed in its pursuit of academic excellence to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach to equality, which supports and encourages all underrepresented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity.

The Athena Swan Charter is a framework which is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education (HE) and research. Established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment, the Charter is now being used across the globe to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.
