Athena SWAN
The Athena Swan Charter is a framework which is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education (HE) and research. Established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment, the Charter is now being used across the globe to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women.

The Medical School currently holds a SILVER AWARD. The University of Bristol is a founding member of the Athena SWAN Charter.
Stand Up Speak Out (SUSO)
Bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, assault and discrimination are not acceptable. Students and staff can report something anonymously or get advice.
Our Stand Up Speak Out (SUSO) Advocates (formerly called Acceptable Behaviour Supporters) are trained to help signpost to appropriate forms of support and next steps. It is a confidential, informal and judgement-free service and can even be used when you are worried about your own behaviour and its impact.
