THE ROLE OF A CHAMPION
Each School in Queen’s typically has two Swan Co-Champions, appointed from within the School and reporting directly to the Head of School. Swan Champions chair local Swan Self-Assessment Teams (SAT) and are members of their Schools’ Senior Management/Executive Boards.
The role of Swan Co-Champion is a significant leadership position, recognised through appropriate workload allocation models. Training and support is provided by the QGI team and complemented by online and in person events, in partnership with Advance HE Athena Swan.
The list of our current Swan Champions can be viewed below.
Athena Swan Champions Network in Queen’s
Swan Champions meet together every 6 weeks during term time in the Swan Champions Network. This informal network is chaired by a Swan Champion and is supported by the QGI team with members of the Diversity & Inclusion team in attendance. This network enables new Champions to make connections with Champions in other schools, facilitates horizontal and vertical exchange of information, enables integration of institutional and school-level actions and fosters synergising of solutions.
The network typically has an Away Day with a programme co-created by Champions and contribution from invited internal and external speakers.
