The School's EDI Committee aims to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion and embed EDI into the norms and culture of the School.

It monitors EDI data, oversees the implementation of our Athena Swan Action Plan, and explores ways of making teaching and learning equally accessible to all members of the School.
