Northumbria University’s LGBTQ* Network is a fully inclusive
community for colleagues and postgraduate researchers. The group supports and
welcomes all colleagues at the University who identify as Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, Non-Binary, and other sexualities and gender
minorities as well as any colleagues who may wish to support their
LGBTQ+ colleagues.
The main purpose of the group is to create and
support an LGBTQ+ community at the University and work with the
University to continually ensure there are up to date inclusive policies
in place, creating further inclusive spaces and ensuring LGBTQ+
visibility across all our campuses.
The Network works closely the
Students Union and student LGBT* Society to help ensure that students
at the University are aware of our zero tolerance on hate crime and to
provide a safe space to talk should there be any concerns from LGBTQ+
students during their time at the University.
If you would like to join the network, please visit the Colleague Equality Networks page on the intranet (login required) or contact the EDI team.
