We are proud to announce that Warwick Law School’s application for the Athena Swan Silver Award has been successful. This award recognises our outstanding continued commitment to advancing gender equality in the School.

Robert Horton, Chair of the Athena Swan Working Group commented:

“The Law School is proud to have its progress towards the goal of addressing gender inequalities and embedding inclusive cultures recognised with a departmental Athena Swan Silver Award from Advance HE. The award has been achieved through the hard work of the Law School’s Athena Swan Working Group, the EDI Committee, and all the other staff and student members of the Law School who strive to make a positive impact on our community. We look forward to building on our successes and continuing our progress.”

Congratulations to the team and all who were involved in making this happen.
