Visit the Queen's Gender Initiative Website
The Gender Initiative provides a channel for women’s views on priority issues for women to come to the fore. This forum also acts as a route through which women’s responses to policies, practices and procedures can be made known to senior organisational managers.
Reflective assessment teams in schools engage with the gender equality agenda in their specific contexts. They develop and implement action plans to address equal opportunities issues. Regular meetings between the Gender Initiative Director and Vice Chancellor, along with other senior managers, keep communication flowing between all groups.
Visit the Queen's Diversity and Inclusion Website
The diversity and inclusion team at Queen's is helping to create a culture that is inclusive at all levels, in every system and process. They provide a confidential source of advice and support to individual staff members on equality, diversity and inclusion issues, as well providing the appropriate equality, diversity and inclusion training for QUB staff.
Visit the Queen's Staff Networks Website

They include the Staff Disability Support Network, the Parents Network, PRISM, iRise, CONNECT, Technicians at Queen's, AfricanSRN, the Research and Innovation Professionals Network and the Communications and Marketing Staff Network.
