Engage with inclusive best practice

The Queering University programme has a collection of best practice guidance and resources, with sections on:

  • terminology & language,
  • inclusive practice and allyship,
  • teaching and learning, and
  • providing support for LGBTQUIA+ people.

You can find out more about supporting estranged students and HIV+ staff & students via the Solo project and Living Positively project respectively.

Pledge your support with pronouns

Taking our pronouns pledge makes it simple to engage with inclusive best practice on pronouns, and to build a movement of people taking these steps together. Pledge to take six simple actions to further inclusive pronoun practices at Warwick.

We provide free pronoun badges for staff and students.
