Louise Cotterell
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Manager
My role focuses on identifying and delivering effective initiatives to improve equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). This is done through monitoring and reviewing policy, practice and culture within DPAG and delivering a five year action plan to make the department a great place to work and study. Having supported the department to gain an Athena Swan silver gender equality award, my role has expanded to consider wider diversity issues, including race, disability and sexuality. I chair an Anti-Racism Working Group, Disability Working Group, and Training and Career Development Working Group. My role includes staff and student consultation, surveys and focus groups, data analysis and reporting, EDI events and workshops, and coordination of diverse initiatives.
I am an accredited Mediator, and Deputy Service Lead for the MSD Mediation Service, Harassment Adviser, DPAG Wellbeing Supporter, Wellbeing Champion, LGBT+ Ally and an Advance HE Athena Swan Reviewer.
