    The Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Committee was established to ensure best practice across the department, for the benefit of all staff and students regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, religion and belief. The committee grew out of the Athena SWAN Working Group which steered the department towards its Bronze Award in 2016 and Silver Award in 2022, and several students across our UG, PGT and PGR programmes are represented - see below.
