Gender – Equality and Diversity

It's an exciting time for equalities and diversity at Goldsmiths. We are updating the College's first Gender Equality Scheme and Action Plan, first published in April 2007. We are determined to ensure our updated Scheme and Plan fulfill their ambition to be powerful tools to deliver real change and practical improvements for everyone learning and working at Goldsmiths. So we have taken this opportunity to renew and in some places to extend the College's existing gender equality commitments. Please take the time to read this revised Scheme and Action Plan (updates and changes to the Action Plan are in red text to make them easier to spot!) and let us have your feedback, using the Consultation Questionnaire.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Goldsmiths aims to ensure that all policies, procedures and practices do not disadvantage or exclude on grounds of gender. The College recognises that the problem of harassment and bullying threatens staff and students' health, wellbeing and contribution to the organisation and such behaviour will not be tolerated.

Goldsmiths expects all its staff, students, suppliers, contractors and visitors to endorse this commitment and to behave accordingly.

Annual Reports will be published to include information on the College’s Equality and Diversity networks; premises; training and awareness; communication; partnership and community links; and any other staff and student issues.

It is planned to produce a Transgender Policy during 2008.
