At Northumbria University, we believe inclusion matters, for
people, for performance, and for long-term success. We're proud to be a Proud
Employer. Proud Employers is designed to help build truly inclusive workplaces
where LGBTQ+ people are equally safe, protected and heard. We’re committed to
creating a safe and equal workplace for LGBTQ+ people. Find out more about Proud Employers.
LGBTQ+ Equality Forum
Our Equality Forums aim to help drive debate, listen and propose action to shape the University’s approach to inclusion and EDI action plans and Charters. They facilitate engagement with the wider University community, providing a platform and focus for inclusion work. They host discussions, speaker events and activities which contribute to developing cultural competency and raising awareness of different identities and experiences. Membership includes student representation, so their voice is heard within these Forums.
The LGBTQ+ Equality Forum is chaired by Professor Chris Ashford, Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Knowledge Exchange) and our Senior Sponsor for LGBTQ+ Equality.
