Equality Monitoring Data
Reporters have the option to identify with a particular gender, ethnicity, age, disability, religion and belief and sexual orientation. These data collection points help the University to identify areas for awareness-raising, action and support.

The highest category selected by those identifying as ‘woman’ is ‘other’ with 29 reports making up 22.7% of the total, the second highest was ‘sexual assault and rape’ at 20.3% of selections (15).
