Hi Kelly,

The only work I have done on this was in relation to the Research Assessment process, where I did diversity training on diversity issues that should be considered and exempt. I think this model can be utilised in considering promotions as its already got credence with HEFCE.

I would be interested in knowing the outcomes of your work.

Regards

Subject: Academic Progression Policy

Hi Everyone,

We are currently reviewing our Academic Progression Policy and we are keen to thread equality and diversity throughout the policy. We are particularly looking at our procedures for promotion to Senior Lecturer/Reader/Chair. As promotion at Durham depends heavily on the quality and quantity of an individual’s research, we are looking at the effect that things like language barriers, maternity leave and disability have on employees’ chances of promotion.

Has anyone done this already? Would anyone be willing to share their policy with me?

My off-line email address in below.

Many thanks,

Kelly Moss
