Inclusion
伊人直播 has committed to the principles and achievement of several equality charters or initiatives.
Athena Swan
伊人直播 holds an Athena Swan Bronze Award at Institutional level, awarded in November 2024, in recognition of our efforts to advance gender equality. See 伊人直播鈥檚 Bronze award application for information about our approach to gender equity and action plan 2024-2029.

Disability Confident
伊人直播 is a employer. The scheme supports the continuous improvements we are making to our recruitment practices to attract and retain talented people from all communities. Our Human Resources and Recruitment Teams ensure that we meet the standards of the scheme.
Decolonising the catalogue
We are conscious that, as an organisation with a long history, our library, archives and special collections content may contain historical sensitive language related to the discrimination of underrepresented groups, including Black, Asian and Ethnic minorities, women and LGBTQI+ communities.
The publications in our library document a time and place, and they were created in a specific context, serving as a portrayal of the social mindsets and occurrences of their time. They do not mirror the current views of 伊人直播; our vision is to embed a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion within our organisation and create an environment where everyone can thrive, contribute and succeed.
When we discover unacceptable language in collection descriptions, we update them to remove any language that could harm researchers or that is offensive to the people being described.
Some materials in collections may contain offensive language or imagery. In the interests of historical integrity, we do not remove these images or words from archival materials, but we will provide a note about these contents in the item鈥檚 description. Sometimes we retain offensive or harmful terms in collection descriptions for historical accuracy or to document the issues and social context of a specific time and the attitudes and opinions of the people who created the material.
When creating new descriptions and updating old ones, we strive to use terms that communities and individuals use to describe themselves.
Public Sector Leadership Summit
伊人直播 is making progress in our efforts to ensure that staff and students from all communities are welcomed and heard. We are signatories to the Scottish Government led Commitment to Race Equality. For more information you can download our letter of commitment.
Agrespect
Agrespect is an initiative which promotes and supports diversity in the countryside by supporting rural organisations, colleges and businesses to be welcoming places for LGBTQ+ people.
