Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Resources

Student group constitutions require your group to be accessible and inclusive to all. 

We have created an Accessibility Guide to help you ensure your student events are as accessible as possible. This guide includes a checklist for digital and in person event planning, resources for further information, a glossary of accessibility related terminology and tips for all aspects of planning your event. You do not need to read through the whole document in one sitting but can dip in and out of it to find the information you need to make your event welcoming and inclusive.

We also have the Accessibility Checklist in a handy quick sheet format so you can refer back to it whenever you are planning an event.

If you have any questions, please contact your link staff member. 

We have created a Cultural Competency Guide to help answer questions you have around different aspects of identity. Through this guide, you can learn some historical context, think about language and inclusive communication, and start to become better equipped to navigate the world with cultural competence. You do not need to read the whole document in one sitting but can use the tabs to find resources, background information, a glossary of cultural competency and EDI terms and key dates about calendar events for different members of our community at York.

We have also created a Cultural Competency Resources Sheet which has links to different short form media to help improve your knowledge around different identity issues. Whether you prefer YouTube videos, Podcasts or Blogs, or want signposting to York SU contacts, this doc will have something for you.
