The Athena SWAN self-assessment
In November 2009, the University's equality and diversity strategy group resolved to make an application for an Athena SWAN bronze award by the May 2010 deadline.
Denise Eaton, project manager from the women in SET team in the Centre for Science Education co-ordinated the process with support from Trish Elwis, diversity support officer.
A self-assessment team was established to drive the process forward, and guidelines provided by Athena SWAN were used to inform the selection of the team. Find out more about the self-assessment team.
