We have identified the following key areas where we can improve ED&I in PDN
1. Recruitment & Hiring
We have two current goals:
- Encourage and welcome applications for jobs and studentships in PDN from diverse groups of applicants
- Ensure that all new members of PDN understand the importance of ED&I in our workplace, from the point of interview
2. ED&I Training
Our primary goal is to ensure that all current members of PDN understand the importance of ED&I in our workplace. Therefore, we advocate:
- 100% completion of ED&I training and Unconscious bias training for PDN staff and students
- Provision of additional training and workshops on specific aspects of ED&I
3. Culture, Belonging & Retention
Our primary goal is to ensure that all members of PDN are treated equally and have a sense of belonging in PDN:
- We have a zero tolerance policy for any form of discrimination.
- We aim to promote inclusivity in all aspects of work and life in PDN
4. Undergraduate teaching
We aspire to improve ED&I in our undergraduate teaching, by raising awareness of the importance and value of diversity in academic teaching and research, and by promoting a culture of inclusivity.
