New staff and students are encouraged to become a member of a working group when they take up post, and information about this is provided as part of induction. Contributions to Athena Swan are recognised in individual's workload model and during annual reviews.

  1. Early career researcher (ECR) issues, aspirations and development
  2. Career progression

  4. Maternity, paternity, parental and carer issues and development
  5. Mentoring arrangements
