Disability staff network
For disabled staff and postgraduate research students, to promote an environment where people with disabilities are supported, valued and enabled to fulfil their potential.
Staff and post graduate research students have come together to form networks and societies to represent, support and engage members who share a similar background, characteristic or common cause. The networks are autonomous, with their own terms of reference and work with the University to shape and deliver organisational strategy and policy to improve staff experiences.
Parents' and carers' network
Supporting the working lives of staff with caring responsibilities.
Pulse LGBT+ staff network
Working in partnership with the University to create a safe, inclusive and diverse working environment that encourages respect and equality for all, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
REACH (Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage)
Raising awareness of and promoting race equality and cultural diversity at the University. All Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff staff and postgraduate research students are welcome.
WiSET+ women academics' network
Promoting equality and inclusion for women in academic disciplines where they are typically under-represented.
Social mobility network (student and staff)
The Social Mobility Network has been created as a dedicated space for likeminded individuals who self-define as either currently being from, or originating from, a low socioeconomic background.
We have over 200 different student societies, supported by our students' union SUSU. The societies are one way for students with shared interest or shared identities can come together. There are several societies dedicated to promoting rights and inclusion for different groups, as well as several societies that celebrate and bring together students from particular countries, cultures and religions.

Many student societies also welcome staff as affiliate members.
