Transgender and gender identity
The University's Equality Policy provides for an inclusive environment, which 'promotes equality, values diversity and maintains a working, learning and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all its staff and students are respected.'
The University aims to anticipate and respond positively to the needs of trans and gender variant students, staff and alumni, enabling all members of the University to feel welcome, safe, valued and supported in achieving their potential and contributing as a member of the University.
The University is currently (spring 2013) consulting on a Transgender policy and guidance.
If you would like to see the draft policy or have any comments or concerns about Transgender issues, please contact Caroline Moughton

Transgender issues and Stonewall
The university recognises Stonewall’s role in campaigning on behalf of lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and has become a Stonewall Diversity Champion. However we are aware that Stonewall has no remit for transgender issues, and that we need to undertake separate activity to develop our support for transgender students and staff.
