Our partners
In order to make the most impact, we work collaboratively with partners across the BANES and Wiltshire landscape and within HEI’s, ED&I, funders and regulatory bodies.
These partnerships help us to ensure we deliver our diversity and inclusion goals and targets and promote belonging for our staff and students.

When choosing partners, we find values alignment and build an open partnership where feedback is given honestly. Every partner that we’ve chosen to work with shares our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and community and will benefit our staff and students experience. They are also willing to collaborate and create a space where constructive feedback can be given and received. Particularly in the ED&I world, being real and self-reflecting is where the work starts.
