Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)
The UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics is committed to ensuring fair treatment and opportunity for all staff and students in every area of their work and to eradicating prejudice and discrimination. This effort is part of the School’s commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI):
Equality – ensuring that no individual or group of individuals is treated less favourably because of their protected characteristics.
Diversity – recognising, respecting and embracing each other's differences, with the aim of creating an environment that will inspire creativity and drive innovation.
Inclusion – creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued and establishing a sense of belonging among all members of the School.
According to the Equality Act 2010, the protected characteristics are:
- age
- disability
- gender reassignment
- marriage and civil partnership
- pregnancy and maternity
- race
- religion or belief
- sex
- sexual orientation
Discrimination (including direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, bullying, harassment and victimisation) on the grounds of any of these characteristics is illegal.
