Equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility

The purpose of the European Union directive on accessibility is to ensure that everyone can obtain information in a form that suits them. Equality, diversity and inclusiveness are in our core values, supporting our community’s wellbeing, creativity and ability to foster world-class research, teaching and impact
