Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê moves up 30 places in Stonewall Workplace Equality Index
17 January 2013
The inclusiveness of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê as an employer has again been recognised in this year's Stonewall Workplace Equality Index (WEI).
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has,
for the second time in as many years, been acknowledged as one of the country's
Top 100 gay-friendly employers.
Encouragingly, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has moved up 30 places in
the index this year and is now ranked as the 53rd best employer for Lesbian,
Gay, and Bisexual staff. This is a great achievement for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, as it is one of
only six universities in the Index and is the result of the hard work of our
LGBT Equality Group in partnership with the Equalities and Diversity Team.
Sir Stephen Wall, Chair of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Council & the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Equality Champion, has reaffirmed his support for this initiative: "At Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, we are delivering on our commitment to be one of the best employers for LGBT staff. We have won the laurels. I promise you we will not rest on them".
