LGBTQI+
The Department of Education is committed to supporting our staff and students who identify as LGBTQI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex +) and creating an inclusive community where everyone can thrive. We are actively working to ensure LGBTQI+ staff and students feel comfortable and safe in the Department.
For example, drawing on good practice by Athena SWAN Gold departments, we are planning to set up an anonymous online suggestion box to make suggestions on how the department can better support its LGBTQI+ staff and students.
