Welcome to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Diverse group of cartoon people

Ó£»¨¶¯Âþ seeks to provide a respectful and inclusive environment where all staff and students can thrive. 

At Durham, our people are our most important asset. We believe that our success is tied to being able to attract, retain and develop outstanding staff and students from all backgrounds and identities. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where our people feel supported and valued, enabling them to not only succeed, but thrive. 

We strongly believe that people are happier, enjoy their work more and perform better in a place where: 

  • everyone respects and understands the value of different people working together 
  • everyone is treated fairly 
  • negative behaviours and attitudes such as prejudice, discrimination and harassment are unacceptable, and people feel supported to challenge these.  

Making Durham a truly inclusive place requires ongoing commitment from all members of our University community. 

Our team works with all Departments across the University to embed equality and diversity in everything we do, as we work towards our goal of making Durham a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone.
