St George's introduced a Race Equality Action and Engagement Group (REAEG) in 2021 after our Institutional Review of Race Equality. The group aims to facilitate development and track progress of the race equality action plan, which addresses issues affecting representation, progression and success amongst Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff and students.
The group works collaboratively providing input and feedback on the development of actions agreed in as part of the Institutional Review of Race Equality. The group also seeks to foster wider engagement with race equality and cultural diversity across the University, championing race equality and maintaining a postive focus on driving change.
REAEG Members
Members of REAEG are not restricted to those with relevant operational responsibilities. They come from across the University, with diverse ethnic backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. It is based on a model of partnership, whereby additional staff or students will be co-opted for themed meetings or time-bound subgroups to work on specific projects.
