Delivery
The Social Inclusion Strategy will work inter-dependently with a number of other University strategies - the university's core purposes of research and education; strategic priorities around international and regional partnership and innovation; enabling strategies, including people, communications, and wellbeing; and other areas of work, such as widening participation, student admissions, and government affairs.
Progress and developments against the Social Inclusion Strategy will be monitored and actioned by the Social Inclusion Committee, which reports to Senate and Council.
