As outlined in the strategy, the University wants to create an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and has regard for our different needs, attitudes and lifestyles. This new Code is a framework to support this.

The Code applies to all members of University staff, external members of University committee, consultants employed by the University, those who hold honorary appointments, University volunteers, wardens and sub wardens, and anyone else who is appointed or engaged to perform duties or functions on the University’s behalf.

The Code includes the values that all staff should adopt in their working practices, permitted dress codes and University uniforms, security/ID requirements, and membership of organisations that may impact or be a conflict of interest to your work or the wider University.

Please ensure you read and comply with the Code. Printed copies will be made available in areas frequented by those staff who do not have PC access as part of their day-to-day work.
