Social Inclusion at Warwick is about removing economic, social, and cultural barriers that have prevented people from working, studying, and succeeding. Our vision is that by 2030, we will be recognised as best in class for our approach to equality, diversity, and inclusion for students, staff, and the partners and communities that we work with.

There is much to celebrate in our progress on social inclusion and widening participation, and in particular we’d like to recognise staff contributions to making Warwick a better place to live, study, and work.

The award will be presented to those who have made an outstanding contribution to progressing social inclusion at Warwick in one or more of the following areas:

• Celebrating diversity: Raising awareness and understanding of social inclusion issues, celebrating diversity e.g., through communications campaigns and events, or promoting Warwick as a University committed to diversity and inclusion.
• Supporting an inclusive culture: Creating a working and learning environment which values difference and in which everyone feels that they belong and can thrive. This could include working to develop more inclusive curricula and/or engaging with inclusion topics in teaching.
• Demonstrating leadership: Demonstrating leadership on social inclusion work and influencing change for a specific group, within a team, department, or the wider University, or collaborating with external partners on social inclusion work.
