1. Celebrate the diversity of staff and student backgrounds and cultures that form our community. 2. Look to continually develop our staff through training opportunities, mentorship and supportive line management, in particular Early Career Researchers with key mentorship programmes and tailored support, for example using St David’s Medical Foundation and RWIF funds. 3. Create a culture of openness and respect to maximise the collaborative opportunities, both within the Faculty and across the University. We will measure success in this aspect through staff feedback to assess the opinion of staff and to develop new initiatives.
