Overview
Our annual conference on closing ethnicity awarding gaps will return online on 27 April 2023. Last year, we released a report ‘Closing the gap: three years on’ reflecting on how much progress had been made since our original guidance released in 2019. This report highlighted 6 key themes for the sector to focus on to close the gap further and faster:
- Data
- Strong leadership
- Conversations about race and culture
- Racially diverse and inclusive communities
- Evidence and analysis
- What works?
We know that the degree outcomes are impacted due to inequalities that are experienced holistically throughout a student's university experience and more needs to be done to tackle this.
Join us for this year’s conference, which is going to address these themes and showcase how universities are using the report to implement long-term solutions both inside and outside the classroom.
