Information on equality, diversity and inclusion training and development for staff at the University of Plymouth

As a university that is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, the University of Plymouth provides training throughout the year to ensure staff are always equipped to deliver a service that works for everyone.

Here you will find information on our training courses as well as the University's agreed definitions and terminology to help facilitate conversations on sometimes challenging topics.

All courses for staff listed on this page can be booked via Employee Self-Service or by contacting the Staff Development Team at staffdevelopment@plymouth.ac.uk.

Glossary of terms

We understand that trying to get to grips with the meaning of key phrases in equality legislation and University policies can be confusing.

For various legal reasons and for consistency across departments, the University has adopted a glossary of key terms to ensure that everyone is working to the same definitions. This glossary is regularly updated to reflect the evolution of our language on often emotive topics and we welcome feedback from our staff, students and community.
