Equality, diversity and inclusion

The IRR is committed to ensuring we work and study in an environment that is underpinned by the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.

Our staff and students are our greatest asset and we seek to promote a positive culture where all of our community can thrive and are respected and celebrated for their unique perspectives and contributions. We will challenge prejudice and aspire to be inclusive, fair and just in all areas.
