Governance, reporting and implementation

The DIAP is overseen by University Executive via its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Sub-committee.

The DIAP Reference Group, made up of action implementation leads, lived-experience representatives (Staff Disability Roundtable and student representatives) and subject matter experts, has guided the development of this action plan. It will remain in place to drive and monitor the implementation of the DIAP, supporting and coordinating action-specific implementation plans and targets. Implementation plans will continue to seek lived experience and subject-matter expertise from across the University over the lifecycle of this plan.

University groups that participate in DIAP governance, and how they interrelate with each other. Lived experience groups feed into the DIAP Reference Group, which feeds into the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Sub-Committee and University Executive.

Each action has an executive lead who holds ultimate accountability for the action’s implementation and progress. Progress on the DIAP will be reported annually to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Sub-committee via its action plan reporting cycle. Regular communication with the University community on the progress of the DIAP will be an implementation priority.
