It contains 125 actions across five thematic areas, with emphasis placed on ensuring race equality is prioritised in all strategies, policies and many other aspects to ensure the University develops as a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone has a sense of belonging. The agreed success criteria, to be reached by November 2027, are as follows: 57 actions fully implemented and 68 actions demonstrably progressing in line with agreed timelines.
