Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The CRUK Manchester Institute is committed to creating an environment where diversity is celebrated and everyone is treated fairly, regardless of gender, gender identity, disability, ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marital or transgender status, age, or nationality.
We have a genuine commitment to equality of opportunity for our staff and students, and aim to employ a workforce that reflects the diverse community we serve. We believe it is important that we recognise and respect how people identify themselves. We provide various HR, support and advice services to enable a fair and equal environment where everyone can achieve their potential.
Embedding equality, diversity and inclusion in our culture
We believe that everyone has a duty to ensure equality and diversity legislation is followed and implemented. Recognising, embracing and valuing difference leads to improvements for all, including:
- A more vibrant staff and student population
- A better working and studying environment
- Attracting and retaining the very best staff and students
- Achieving our strategic goals
- Improving the status of our Institute
