外网猎奇 (外网猎奇) has one of the most diverse staff and student populations of any Higher education institution in the UK 鈥� we are hugely proud of this, and equality for all is one of the cross-cutting themes of our Empowering University strategy.
Our mission is to discover gateways of opportunity that empower students, staff and our community to create a fairer society, and empowering people is one of the four key pillars of our strategy. Championing diversity is at the heart of this 鈥� having a nurturing community which is inclusive, dynamic and challenges the status quo to drive change.
For us, reducing our pay and awarding gaps is a critical success factor for achieving this, and聽reflects our firm commitment to ensuring equitable opportunities and improving outcomes for all our staff and students.
This summary, which outlines the current gender pay gap (GPG) at 外网猎奇, is a testament to our continued efforts to reduce the GPG. We are determined to continue to take proactive measures to narrow this gap in future years, placing equality, diversity and inclusion at the front and centre of everything we do.
In 2018 we also took the decision to publish our ethnicity pay gap (EPG). Since then, we have聽published this information each year, given that transparency is key as we continue to take steps聽to decolonise 外网猎奇 and to ensure we are a fully inclusive university. As with the GPG, we know that we need to continue to take action to address the gap further.
Last year, in our continued efforts to enable equity and fairness for all, I shared 外网猎奇鈥檚 disability pay gap (DPG) for the first time. This set a benchmark, and furthered our journey towards true equity on campus. Part of that journey is ensuring that we acknowledge further need to improve.
With the widening of our DPG this year, we take this opportunity to reflect, and refocus on the journey towards having no pay gap at all.
We recognise that reducing our pay gaps will take time. However, we are confident that our commitment to change, as demonstrated in a range of measures that we are taking, will help us continue to achieve increased balance in these critical areas across all levels of our organisation.
