Share Your Experiences and Perspectives
(1:1 confidential conversations 45 minute slots) Places for 1:1 sessions are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. There are eight places available, intended for those who feel unable to attend an open forum.
We know recent developments have prompted a range of thoughts, feelings and questions across our community. This is an opportunity to share your experiences, listen to others, and help us better understand what inclusion, dignity, respect and belonging mean to students at UWE Bristol today.
UWE Bristol has commissioned Advance HE to lead an independent Community Listening Exercise for staff and students.
Following recent developments, including the Supreme Court ruling, EHRC guidance, updates to the Trans and Non-Binary Policy, and the Equality Impact Analysis (EIA), we recognise that people have a range of experiences, perspectives and questions. Advance HE will provide a safe and impartial space to share these views.
The purpose of this independent Community Listening Exercise is the importance of providing a respectful and inclusive space where staff and students can share a range of experiences, perspectives and questions.
