Support and wellbeing

Wellbeing means being in a positive physical, social and mental state. Wellbeing is important to us as individuals, as it fundamentally impacts on the quality of our life. It is important to us as a University, as happy, healthy people who achieve harmony in their work / life mix are more creative, productive and help to create a great place to work.

The University is strongly committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and supports all groups of staff. A number of staff networks have been established by Human Resources so that members can support each other, raise any concerns and influence the University’s People Strategy.

Diversity of experience, thought and perspective enriches our University and the lives of our community. It is crucial to our ongoing development as an international institution.  Our ambition is to be recognised as a sector leader in identifying and removing systemic barriers associated with race, ethnicity, or national origin, class or socio-economic background, sexuality or gender identity, religion or faith, age, disability, marital status or caring responsibilities, which have previously prevented talented individuals from studying or working with us, or from progressing in their field.

The Health and Safety Service provides advice and guidance to Schools and Professional Support Service Sections. This covers all aspects of health and safety matters on campus, including occupational safety, fire, radiological protection, hazardous waste, emergency procedures and insurance issues arising from incidents which are occupationally related.
