Athena SWAN team and reports

The RDM SAT meet quarterly and provide support for department-wide initiatives that benefit from a central co-ordinated approach (eg the RDM Mentoring Scheme and the RDM Career Development Committee). Charlotte Smith, RDM’s Athena SWAN Facilitator, supports EDI activities across RDM, as part of the department’s ongoing initiative of creating a better workplace.

ATHENA SWAN APPLICATIONS and action plans

The SAT co-ordinated the 2015 successful application for an Athena SWAN Silver Award and in April 2019 submitted their second successful silver application. As part of the 2021, Advance HE transformation of Athena Swan, the action plans now run over a five year period. The updated version of RDM action plan, along with working group updates from the last two years is available here.

STAFF AND STUDENT  SURVEY RESULTS

One of the ways in which we monitor our progress through staff and student surveys.

2020/21

In September 2020, the RDM Environment and Culture Working Group sent out a survey to all RDM staff and students, to capture their experiences during the initial period of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to identify whether any lessons couldbe learnt. The news item and infographic and full report are now available.
