Since 2013 the University has been a diversity champion for Stonewall and submits annually to the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index that measures how LGBT+ inclusive an organisation is.  

We are ranked as one of Stonewall's top 100 employers, currently 22nd out of 403 submissions, demonstrating our commitment to LGBT workplace inclusion.  Stonewall is an LGBTQ+ organisation which campaigns for equity and change.
