Welcome to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Staff Network. The network enables LGBT staff to come together to share information, support and, by signalling a LGBT presence on campus, to ensure we maintain a comfortable and fully inclusive environment in which we can each reach our full potential without fear of discrimination.

We also have a dedicated LGBT uSpace, to enable LGBT members of staff to network, discuss issues and share key documents electronically.
