Suggestion to reduce teaching load when returning to work but this brings about other issues as to who picks up the load during this phasing back to work. Suggestion for Line Managers to be involved in discussions from early stages with pregnant mothers to support throughout.

Champions, exchange across schools, provide full training and support? Include active bystander training in teaching and staff training.  Would central EDI person be a good suggestion as they are a little further removed?  Named person for each programme? Are Harassment Advisors still active? Link to counselling service]]> 2022-07-05 12:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2237220137 Neurodiversity mbrxskt5 https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238866043 Neurodivergent staff and students should be included in EDI initiatives. Initiatives should be designed in participation with this group, and EDI/SR committees should have neurodivergent members]]> 2022-07-07 10:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238866043 Promotions for PS staff https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238887337 PS staff as a group is completely dismissed when it comes to promotions. We are fobbed off whenever the subject is raised. There is no career pathway. If we want a better job we have to apply for a new one - most of the time leaving the expertise and years of experience of an area behind. Our jobs evolve all the time but the grades stay the same.   ]]> 2022-07-07 11:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238887337 Annual leave allowance https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238888029 Why does annual leave depend on grade?]]> 2022-07-07 11:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238888029 Neurodivergent Community https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238894993 Minor changes could be made to make campus more accessible to this community. ]]> 2022-07-07 11:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238894993 Culture & Language https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238897057 What can we do make to change to language that is used and the ways that people behave? This is a collective change that must be acted upon, active bystander trainer is available but how do we make it compulsory and / or integrate to training.  Suggestion to talk to students about the correct language that is preferred for different cultural groups. Role modelling behaviours - top down with regards to attending training, using correct language and living what has been learnt. 
EDI Objectives to be included PDR for anyone who has line management responsibility.  
Emotional intelligence & trigger warnings for faculty comms, particularly around researchers recruiting for studies, ethics committee need to be on board when studies are signed off. ]]> 2022-07-07 11:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238897057 Representatives from different groups when planning events etc ... https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238898695 Eg.

Challenging as opens us up to misuse and people often might not want to admit that they are having a 'bad day'. Language disclosure can present a barrier in itself, complex area to be navigated carefully. Suggestion of offering somewhere to log data anonymously to start to collect data in order to provide evidence that a policy is required.]]> 2022-07-07 11:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238904161 student involvement in SR EDI agenda https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238908325 2022-07-07 11:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthafranklin/a9a7mj4o5qqqtgkb/wish/2238908325 EDI Central Team will be running Active Bystander training this year in the faculty.
