York St John University is dedicated to providing an inclusive, accessible and welcoming environment which supports a diverse and culturally rich community. We will inspire our students and staff to value equality, diversity and inclusion and we aim to ensure that all of our students are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We make real this commitment in practical ways that enhance the experience of our students and staff. The University is committed to developing, implementing, reviewing and monitoring policies and practices which promote equality, diversity and human rights.

We value the social and cultural diversity that everyone brings to our community. The contributions by a diverse workforce and student body enrich and strengthen our University, and we are determined to promote diverse and balanced representation across the workforce.  

We are proud to have been in the Top 100 Stonewall WEI, for three years in a row, being a Disability Confident Employer and a Mindful Employer. To find out more about our equality initiatives click here.
