Commended - Tackling Racial Inequality at Warwick (TRIW)

The TRIW team, through the delivery of our anti-racism staff development programme, has contributed to making Warwick a more inclusive place for all members of our community by ensuring racial diversity is recognised, understood and valued. By better preparing staff to engage with Warwick’s diverse student body, both inside and outside the classroom, our programme ensures staff appreciate and value Warwick’s racial diversity and provides them with the tools to engage with such diversity. In doing so, we aim to make Warwick a more attractive institution for students of colour through demonstrating the institution’s active commitment to anti-racism.
