Principles, committee, training and policies. People and Culture Committee Our People and Culture (formerly Equality and Diversity Committee) was set up in 2013 to support the implementation of our first Athena SWAN action plan and more broadly, to deliver oversight and input on all Equality and Diversity issues. Members include academic representatives from all institutes, at all career stages, undergraduate and postgraduate students and members of support staff who deal with staff/student recruitment and retention. The group meets four times a year and has a budget to promote and support events, training and internships.
