Equality is at the heart of the Union and the campus community. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated, and as you can see from the members of the Union team, we have student officers for most groups, who you can contact should you want advice, support or if you just want to get involved in each of the groups they run.
'The Union values the diversity of all of its members and staff. The Union through its Trustees Board, General Meetings, Executive Council, Committees, and Officers is dedicated to maintaining equal opportunities for all of its members and employees regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion or sexuality.
The Union is committed to maintaining equal access for all its members to all the services that it provides, subject to the aims and objectives of the Liberation Groups.
No member should be refused access to any club or society or be refused access to any of the Union buildings on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion or sexuality if they are a member of the Union unless disciplinary measures have been taken or are outstanding against them.
In turn, no member will harass, victimise or discriminate against any member, employee, contractor or any other 3rd party on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion or sexuality whilst on Union premises or otherwise or disciplinary procedures will be taken against them.'
