SDG 16 - Peace, justice and strong institutions
Around the world, we need peace in every sense. Compassion and a strong moral compass is essential to every democratic society. Yet, persecution, injustice and abuse still runs rampant and is tearing at the very fabric of civilisation. We must ensure that we have strong institutions, global standards of justice, and a commitment to peace everywhere.
LJMU is committed to creating a peaceful and inclusive society. We're recognised as an Armed Forces friendly organisation and have received the Gold award from the Ministry of Defense Employer Recognition Scheme. We also work closely with Merseyside Police, with LJMU being one of the biggest training providers of ‘blue light’ students in the North West. These graduates are the people you call in an emergency; police, paramedics, nurses and midwives.
