UCD EDI Policy and Strategy

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is an important agenda item across the university system. UCD is committed to creating an environment where diversity is celebrated and everyone is treated fairly regardless of gender, age, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, civil status, family status, or membership of the travelling community. The School of Medicine fully supports the UCD EDI initiative and aims to promote a fully inclusive and equitable environment for both our staff and our students.

Dignity and respect are at the heart of EDI and all members of the University Community have a responsibility to:

  • At all times, treat all members of the University community with dignity and respect
  • Positively contribute to a culture of dignity and respect
  • Engage in respectful conduct or behaviour that will not endanger their own safety, health and welfare or work or that of any other person including obligations under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005
  • Be aware of the effects of their own behaviour
  • Challenge bullying, sexual harassment or other harassment and report any incidents witnessed
  • Not make false, malicious or vexatious complaints. https://www.ucd.ie/equality/support/dignityrespect/
