Equality and Diversity
We're committed to working with staff to achieve excellence through equality and diversity.
The Department of Human Resources has a wide range of proactive equality and diversity action underway which focuses on promoting the benefits of a diverse workforce for all.
Excellence through Inclusion
We aim to create a corporate culture that is inclusive at all levels and in every system and process. Through our Equality and Diversity Strategy and Action Plans we will work with people from across the University and beyond, to hear and help them tell the positive stories about what we have achieved already through inclusion and what we will be doing even better in the future.

From 1st - 3rd May 2007 we held our "Excellence through Inclusion Week".
Further details about all the events that took place can be found at http://www.shef.ac.uk/hr/diversity/etiweek.html.
Walk Talk
WALKTALK is a bold new initiative that has been launched aiming to get people who might never normally meet walking and talking side by side.
Initiated by Gill Hicks, a survivor from the 7 July 2005 London bombings who lost her legs that day, people will be encouraged to join the 200 mile walk from Leeds to London as it passes through their town and share thoughts and experiences about humanity with each other. For more information visit the WALKTALK website.
