Race Action Group

The Race Action Group (RAG) is implementing the recommended actions of the University’s Race Action Plan. The RAG is also the core Self-Assessment team (SAT) working to review and form a future action plan as part of the steps required to make a successful Race Equality Charter Mark Bronze award application by November 2024.

The RAG will provide oversight and implement actions to become an Anti-Racist University to make a positive long-term impact on race equality and cultural change.
