October brings Black History Month, which Warwick celebrates by running events for staff and students.
Warwick submitted for a Bronze Race Equality Charter Mark in July 2017, which provides a framework through which institutions work to identify and
cultural barriers standing in the way of minority ethnic staff and students. Member institutions develop initiatives and solutions for action and can apply for a Bronze or Silver level award, depending on levels of progress. Warwick is awaiting the outcome of the submission and continues its work to progress race equality.

Warwick hosts an annual Dignity at Warwick event in November to remind staff, students and the wider Warwick community that there is an expected level of behaviour at Warwick.
Warwick’s approach to tackling harassment and bullying is by emphasising positive behaviour and the responsibilities that we all have to respectfully challenge inappropriate behaviour when we see it.
There are 23 Dignity Contacts who are available for staff to approach to discuss any concerns they may have with regard to discrimination/ harassment or bullying. The Dignity Contacts provide a
and can give guidance on the options available for individuals to take to stop the unwanted behaviour.
More information on the Dignity at Warwick Policy and Dignity Contacts can be found on the Diversity and Inclusion webpages.

As we welcome 2018, the New Year is an opportunity to look at how you could integrate Warwick’s Equality Objectives into your role, team, or department, perhaps via your PDR or just as a personal objective. Here are some tips on changes you could make:
Are you involved in recruitment? Are you aware of your unconscious bias? Have taken the online module? Do you treat everyone around you equally and respectfully?A colleague returning from long term sick or parental leave might feel anxious about settling back into the team, asking if they need an update or refresher might help them settle back into work more easily.Do you know what Charter Marks we have, what they mean to you and how you can get involved?Don’t be afraid to offer help to those who might need it, if you see someone struggling with accessibility around campus!
