The Bronze award recognises that in addition to institution-wide policies, the department is working to聽promote gender equality and to identify and address challenges particular to the department and discipline.

Alice Chilver, the faculty鈥檚 Athena SWAN lead said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to be recognised for our committed work to gender equality.

I鈥檓 privileged to have been able to support the faculty in reaching this critical starting point and am excited about the next stages.鈥

Professor Alan Penn, Dean of The Bartlett, said: 鈥淭his award recognises that our faculty are aware of the precise issues we face related to gender inequality and that we have a robust and specific plan of action in place to address them. Thank you and congratulations to all staff from across the faculty who have contributed to making this happen.聽It represents a significant step聽forward聽for The Bartlett and for our sector.鈥
