Welcome to the BAME Staff Network
The BAME Staff Network is a group for self-identified Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) colleagues, and those of mixed heritage, from across job families at both campuses.
This Network offers safer spaces for BAME colleagues to interact socially, intellectually, and more importantly, raise our voices, introduce innovative ideas, and collectively advance race equality within the university.
This website introduces our values and principles, highlights upcoming and recent events, and provides resources on race and anti-racism.
Our Mission
Advocate
To collectively hold the University accountable to its stated commitment to challenge racism and discrimination whenever identified.
Celebrate
Actively honour and commemorate the range of cultures across both campuses through social events; highlight the achievements of BAME staff.
Wellbeing and Professional Development
Provide a range of informal and formal opportunities for BAME colleagues to identify, address and achieve their wellbeing and career needs and goals.
