Dear Zelda
The RAE team, after consulting the ECU, will be issuing diversity guidance to HEIs in summer 2005. This will include more detail about what is expected in terms of an internal code of practice. I spoke to a member of the team this morning and she recommended waiting until the guidance has been published before tackling the internal code.
Best wishes
Erica

Dear All
At Southampton we are thinking about diversity issues in relation to the RAE in 2008. In the document produced by HEFCE entitled 'Initial Decisions by the UK funding bodies', dated February 2004, paragraph 69c has a reference to institutions having to develop and apply an appropriate internal code of practice in preparing submission and in selecting staff for inclusion in these. It also requires that this is communicated to all staff.
I am planning to write a paper with some proposals early in the new year and I wondered if anyone else was thinking about this? Or know if there is to any further guidance on this from HEFCE, the ECU? Any thoughts or information gratefully received.
Thanks, Zelda
