UK LGBT+ History Month
LGBT+ History Month is an annual month-long observance of past struggles and achievements of LGBTQIA+ people and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements.
In the UK, it takes place every February and was originally created by Schools OUT UK. It aims to promote and advance equality, diversity and inclusion.
I would like to take the opportunity express our gratitude for the contributions made by LGBTQ+ staff and students to the University. We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all to work and study in, and we want to foster a sense of real belonging - where everyone can be their true selves. We are proud of our status as a university that provides visibility, support and equality for all LGBTQ+ people.
Martin Conway, University Secretary & Executive Advocate for LGBTQ+
Report + Support
We believe everyone should have a positive and rewarding experience at work. While that’s true for most people, it is not acceptable that even one person should be subjected to harassment, bullying or unacceptable behaviour of any kind.
In our commitment to build a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, we have teamed up with online reporting platform Culture Shift to launch Report + Support.
Report + Support gives our staff and students a voice. It is a new way to report unacceptable behaviour and incidents, safe in the knowledge that they will be taken seriously, inspire change and help others.
Through Report + Support you can report incidents (anonymously or including your contact information), access helpful information, and find out what support is available when you need it. We have worked closely with our staff and student services to ensure that Report + Support integrates with existing policies and procedures, providing comprehensive support to anyone reporting unacceptable behaviour.
