We aim to provide a safe and friendly environment for all LGBTQ+ students and staff. We listen to the views and challenges of the LGBTQ+ community and seek to ensure our equality and diversity initiatives are able to respond to and grow through these experiences. As well as this, we aim to play our role in raising awareness and combating issues which members of this community face.
The department runs a number of equality networks, which includes LGBTQ+ network, disabled students network, race equality network and caring responsibilities network (Contact Penny.Spikins@york.ac.uk for more details).
