Staff Networks
One way to share your thoughts and experiences is through engaging with our staff networks who aim to represent different staff groups at Queen Mary.
Staff Networks are places where people with shared identities and backgrounds can connect with colleagues and make positive change across the University. They can fulfil several roles including providing peer support and a forum for social interaction, as well as working alongside the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Team to positively impact staff and student experience.
Queen Mary recognises that having active and engaged staff networks can play an integral part in achieving our mission to become the most inclusive university of our kind, anywhere.
If you would like to know more about a specific network, please follow the links on this page.
Funding Staff Networks Activity
The EDI Team have been successful in securing a ring- fenced sum of money to fund potential staff network activities.
We want to actively encourage individuals, staff networks and working groups to take forward activities or initiatives that will help us progress our mission to create a truly inclusive environment. Bids for funding are open to any individual member of staff, staff network or working group looking to undertake targeted activity to advance our PCI Enabling Plan.
To ensure that we take a fair and transparent approach, we have established a funding allocation process. This is to help demonstrate that we are using the funds available well and are getting maximum impact through targeted activities. Bids should primarily focus on staff but may take a combined approach with an additional focus on students and/ or alumni.
