Equality Committee

The Equality Committee is a Principal Compliance Committee with responsibility for advising Board and Council on all equality-related matters.

The duties of the Equality Committee include assisting Board and Council in the development, co-ordination and implementation of equality policies, practices and action plans throughout Trinity; advising Board and Council on legislative requirements and national and EU policy developments; and reporting to Board and Council on equality matters, including an Annual Report on the Committee's activities.

The Equality Committee meets four times annually, or as often as necessary. Membership includes academic staff, professional staff, and student representatives, and no more than 60% of members may be of any one gender. There are staff representative positions on the Equality Committee for which any staff member may nominate themselves - all staff are advised by email whenever such a vacancy arises.
