EDI Sub-Committee
The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Sub-Committee is a Sub-Committee of the People and Culture Committee, with responsibility for advising the People and Culture Committee on all EDI-related matters.
The duties of the EDI Sub-Committee include assisting the People and Culture Committee in the development, co-ordination and implementation of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policies, practices, strategies and action plans throughout Trinity; advising Council and People and Culture Committee on legislative requirements in relation to EDI matters; and monitoring developments in national and EU strategies, directives and policies in relation to EDI.
The Sub-Committee reviews its performance and terms of reference annually, reporting its conclusions and recommending any changes it considers necessary to the People and Culture Committee.
The EDI Sub-Committee meets once per term, 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 EDI Sub-Committee for which any staff member may nominate themselves - all staff are advised by email whenever such a vacancy arises.
