Our colloquium events offer staff a useful forum to encourage the exchange and dissemination of different ways of thinking about key Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) challenges and new approaches.
Structure

The day will feature a keynote presentation from a leading practitioner in each area, followed by themed sessions showcasing case studies from across the sector.
