BSMS Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Awards
The creation of the BSMS Staff and Student EDI Awards is a way of recognising and celebrating the passion, dedication and time devoted by staff in their promotion of, and commitment to, equality, diversity, inclusivity and accessibility across all BSMS activities. This may include leading on EDI projects, speaking at events, supporting students and colleagues to reach EDI objectives, supporting student or community led research, supporting the development of community engagement or any other relevant activities across BSMS. The awards take place annually and recognise staff and students who:
- Embed equality, diversity and inclusivity into a BSMS course or module curriculum
- Manage activities or actions that aim to adapt or change procedures, policies or practices to make them more inclusive
- Create a positive shift in culture at BSMS by working to change systems and environments drawing on principles of equality, diversity and inclusivity
- are role models that create a sense of inspiration and motivation throughout BSMS (and, where relevant, externally)
- Implement or enhance initiatives or actions that help students or staff from underrepresented groups feel welcome and included
