Nottingham Trent University is committed to sustaining an inclusive learning and working environment, which is enriched by diversity, values differences and promotes fairness, respect and equality of opportunity.
We work strategically to advance equality, diversity and inclusion, and to support a culture of engagement underpinned by respect. The work we undertake is evidence based and data informed.
A message from our Vice-Chancellor
As Vice-Chancellor, I am determined to see that equality, diversity and inclusion are at the core of what we do. I continue to listen to the voices of our diverse community of students and colleagues. It helps me and the institution shape the priorities for NTU and the details of our work. We need to challenge and be challenged, support and be supported, as together we advance equality, diversity and inclusion at NTU.
Professor Edward Peck, Vice-Chancellor
