Details of Activity
An initiative was put in place to make staff more aware of relevant university policies which could support them during their career. Information and online links to policies were made available on the department's Athena SWAN website, and the School used briefings to discuss and make staff aware of any developments that had occurred in university policies.
Outcomes
Feedback obtained from focus groups suggested staff were more aware of where they could access information on departmental and university policies. Results from an ECU commissioned Charter Research Survey supported the focus groups findings, with 63% of all respondents and 75% of female respondents suggesting they had an increased awareness of the policies and where they could access further information about them.
