Inclusive Employment

Dignity at Work

Wrexham Glyndŵr University aims to be a place in which everyone can work and learn free from harassment and bullying. Our team of Dignity at Work advisors are trained and ready to help members of staff who may be experiencing problems. Our advisors listen to concerns, provide confidential support and information relating to University policies and procedures, and signpost staff to available options.

Stonewall Diversity Champion

Wrexham Glyndŵr University is the first HE institution in North Wales to become a Stonewall Diversity Champion.

The Stonewall Diversity Champion Programme is the UK’s leading best-practice employer’s forum for LGBT equality, diversity and inclusion. 

The programme enables the University to embed an inclusive and accepting culture within the organisation; establishing links with its lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community and encouraging collaborative working.

By navigating through a framework, the programme will provide the University with support and guidance and development opportunities for staff, ensuring that they are fully equipped to support students.

Disability Confident Employer

We are pleased to confirm that Wrexham Glyndŵr University has been approved as a Disability Confident Employer.

Living Wage

The University has made a commitment to implement the Welsh Government’s Code of Practice on Ethical Employment in Supply Chains, which seeks for all public sector organisations and universities in Wales to commit to a range of ethical employment practices. This includes considering paying all of their staff the Living Wage Foundation’s Living Wage as a minimum, and encouraging their suppliers to do the same.

Wrexham Glyndŵr University has committed to paying the Living Wage Foundation’s Living Wage as a minimum to all of its staff. This has been implemented since the 18/19 academic year. The University will also ensure that as part of any contracted service arrangements, for example in providing cleaning, catering and security services, that at the point of re-tendering contractors commit to also pay the Living Wage Foundation's Living Wage.
