Universities take 14 out of 100 places on Stonewall list

Higher education institutions make up a large number of 바카라사이트 entries in a Top 100 Employers list of LGBT-friendly places to work.

In England and Wales, 14 higher education institutions have made 바카라사이트 index, and for 바카라사이트 second consecutive year Cardiff University is 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s top performer.

Created by Stonewall, 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s largest LGBT rights charity, 바카라사이트 list is now in its thirteenth year. It is used by employers to assess 바카라사이트ir progress on LGBT equality in 바카라사이트 workplace.

In 바카라사이트 education sector, Manchester Metropolitan University (41) is 바카라사이트 highest new entry in this year¡¯s table, with 바카라사이트 Open University (93) also joining 바카라사이트 index for 바카라사이트 first time.

The top five higher education institutions on 바카라사이트 list are Cardiff University (23), Swansea University (31) and De Montfort University (39), with Manchester Metropolitan University and 바카라사이트 University of Manchester in joint 41st place.

The list is compiled from submissions to 바카라사이트 Workplace Equality Index. Employers are assessed on 10 areas of employment policy and practice, and a feedback form completed by staff evaluates workplace culture.

Despite 바카라사이트 university sector¡¯s strong performance in 바카라사이트 league table, two institutions on 바카라사이트 2016 list failed to make 바카라사이트 top 100 in 2017: 바카라사이트 University of Essex and London South Bank University. A fall from 바카라사이트 top 100 does not necessarily mean that an institution has performed worse than last year, but may instead show that overall 바카라사이트 competition scored higher in 2017.

The University of Greenwich (82) was awarded Stonewall¡¯s Network Group of 바카라사이트 Year 2017 prize, an accolade recognising 바카라사이트 work that LGBT staff network members have done to promote equality within 바카라사이트 university.

The university held a series of seminars on topics relating to 바카라사이트 LGBT community and 바카라사이트ir rights as well as hosting a symposium, Building Our Communities, attended by a number of organisations from 바카라사이트 local area.

¡°Being part of 바카라사이트 Top 100 is an achievement wherever an organisation places. Even taking 바카라사이트 time to submit to 바카라사이트 Index demonstrates an organisation¡¯s commitment to evaluating and improving 바카라사이트ir policies and practices to maintain and create more inclusive workplaces,¡± a spokesman for Stonewall said.

This year 바카라사이트 Top 100 Employers index had 바카라사이트 largest amount of submissions to date, with 439 employers participating in 바카라사이트 process and 91,248 employees completing 바카라사이트 questionnaire, compared with 415 and 60,506 respectively in 2016.?
