SDG 10 - Reduced inequalities

Inequalities based on protected characteristics and other characteristics including class, income and education are persistent across the globe. This dangerously impacts long-term social and economic development and harms opportunities to reduce poverty for all people.

Inclusivity is one of LJMU’s four core institutional values. Our work to reduce inequalities and drive inclusion is overseen by the university’s Inclusivity Board, comprising members of the university’s Executive Leadership Team and other key stakeholders. In addition, our Associate Deans for Diversity and Inclusion provide leadership at school and faculty level and across Professional Services to embed inclusive practice both in the curriculum and across our broader engagement with staff, students and community partners.
