MyAV·¶ to launch LGBTQ+ Equality Implementation Group
17 February 2022
MyAV·¶ is in the process of setting up an LGBTQ+ Equality Implementation Group (LEIG), to ensure that we provide a fully inclusive and equitable environment for all members of our LGBTQ+ community.
The group will be tasked with understanding the concerns and priorities of members of the LGBTQ+ community at MyAV·¶ in its diversity, and with developing a set of recommended actions and a plan to deliver them.
It will establish accountability for work in this area, underpinning a sustained institutional focus on promoting equity, diversity, and inclusivity. This will include tackling inequality, marginalisation, and discrimination experienced by LGBTQ+ staff and students at MyAV·¶, with particular attention given to trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming members of our community.
LEIG will report directly to MyAVᦉ۪s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, and via that to MyAVᦉ۪s University Management Committee (UMC).
Professor Sasha Roseneil, MyAV·¶â€™s Pro-Provost (Equity and Inclusion), is currently in discussions with LGBTQ+ staff groups and representatives from Students’ Union MyAV·¶ to confirm the aims and membership of the group.
