Consultations

Why we consult

We undertake equality analysis (EA) to consider the likely effects of our policies and practices on different groups protected from discrimination by the Equality Act in order to create a more inclusive university.

We would like to consult and engage with students, staff, visitors and members of the public on issues, policies and strategies which are important to all of us at the University.

Current consultations

Relocation of library staff

In order to facilitate developments to space in the Library staff will move to a close by office (2C6/7/8) and the current office on level 2 (2D62) will be redeveloped. This work has a short timeframe so staff will move initially for a short time to 3D36 which is currently vacant to allow summer works to happen in 2D62 and 2C6/7/8 concurrently.

Upon completion of the works the student space in the library will be increased and staff will be located in a purpose designed agile office, which will provide the following: open plan bookable desks, online teaching/ small meeting rooms, drop in booths and staff kitchen/cafe style environment. This will provide a range of spaces for different modes of working. In addition to this there will be a duty office in the main library for the rota-ed day team to operate from.

Research data repository replacement

Library Services and IT Services are currently undertaking a project to upgrade UWE Bristol's existing research data repository.

The purpose of the research data repository is to:

create a record of information (a metadata record) about analysed research data that has been used, generated or collected as part of research at UWE Bristol
store that analysed research data
make the research data discoverable by others
make the research data available for re-use by other researchers, where it is appropriate to do so.

Security team restructure

The restructure allows the implementation of a new operations manager role that will replace the existing team leader role. This will enable us to refocus resources on new and emerging priorities that can better support department needs.
