ECU strategic plan 2011-13
Evolve, assist, transform, understand
ECU's three year strategy has been developed through consultation with the higher education sector, our funders, HE sector organisations, equality organisations and individual practitioners.
The strategy focuses on four strategic priorities as we continue to provide a central source of expertise, research, advice and leadership on equality for the HE sector.
Evolve
To position the work of ECU in light of the dramatically changing economic and funding environment to assist institutions in meeting these challenges.
Assist
To assist institutions in embedding the requirements and ambitions of equality legislation within the HE sector, in particular the Equality Act 2010 and the abolition of the default retirement age.
Transform
To work with institutions to develop strategies and methodologies to transform systemic or cultural practices and approaches which unfairly exclude, marginalise or disadvantage individuals or groups.
Understand
To progress the development of methods to gather and use evidence of, and data on, equality and diversity within the HE sector at a national and local level.
