SPRING 2018

Role
models
The University of
South Wales' LGBT+
role models are
volunteers who are
passionate about
promoting LGBT+
equality within the
university, conveying
the important message
that people can be
themselves in the
workplace and can be
accepted without
exception. Spectrum is
a network of LGBT+
staff members and
supportive allies.

Fair play
As part of USW's Fair
Play 30 programme, a
team of volunteers
promotes equality at
the university. The 30
"champions", who are
representative of every
level of the organisation,
promote positive
working and study
environments, taking
into consideration all
characteristics covered
by the Equality Act.

Kate Bowles,
advice zone
assistant
I'm inspired
by the way
USW champions
equality of opportunity and a
culture of inclusion. This was such an
important factor for me and being a
Fair Play 30 champion has been an
exciting way to contribute to this.
Being a champion has given me the
chance to promote an environment
where everyone is represented. My
involvement in the initiative has
also resulted in a personal feeling of
inclusion. I'm grateful to be part of a
network full of inspiring, committed
people who have given me the
confidence to realise my voice is as
valid and as strong as anybody else's.

Erich Hou,
lecturer
in law
As the
university's
BAME LGBT+
role model, a
human rights lawyer, an immigrant
and a lecturer with minority racial
background, equality and diversity
are personal and political.
As much as we'd like to build a
safe harbour for all our students,
universities are part of the
society and we're not immune
from injustice. Nevertheless,
we strive to provide support to
students with similar background.
This is why I stand up."
