Support networks are vital: university wide, knowing who to speak to/ how/ when/ why and challenging negative issues.

Sharing experiences (good and bad)

Signposting support

Increase visibility - in local Teams, school, college, university and wider. Academic and professional services, never OR

use your voice: to challenge, support, signpost, highlight concerns etc.

Be empathic. Compassion is key, always.

Walk the walk - be inclusive in your practices. Not defensive if challenged. Hear what is said, not what you think will be said.

Be solution focused rather than consistently voicing your frustrations

We have two perspectives: (1) our personal interpretation; (2) the institutional context. Don’t create new minorities by being too focused on what’s important to you…(too narrow minded)

Improved communication is vital.

Take accountability

Create a centre for excellence (or several) to show where we started, what we did, and where we got to.

What data do we collect? Is it inclusive? Do stats tell us the real story? Rather than focusing on AI and big data can we increase the value of staff student and alumni lived experiences? What is working ? Can we maybe develop an EDI newsletter based on stories of triumph over challenges?
