Introduction

UCC is committed to addressing inequalities and creating an inclusive culture and environment where diversity is celebrated, and individuals can thrive, irrespective of their background. To better understand how individuals experience their working environment, highlight existing good Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) practice, and identify areas where enhancements can be made, we run an all-staff “Values and Culture” EDI Survey every two years. So far, two all-staff surveys of this type have taken place in 2022 and 2024, and the next consultation is scheduled for March 2026.

A summary report presenting key data from the 2024 dataset and comparing data points against baseline figures from 2022 for an identical study was prepared in June 2024. The report was presented to the University Leadership Team (ULT), the Governing Authority (GA), and subsequently to all staff at a Deputy President and Registrar's (DPR) Town Hall on 9 October 2024.
