# Equality and Diversity

### **York Law School is committed to creating an inclusive community where everyone can thrive.**

Here at YLS we attempt to foster a culture of *respectful informality*, in which unnecessary hierarchical relationships are minimised where possible. We encourage everyone within the community to *participate* in the life of the department, and exercise *rights* and *responsibilities* in a manner consistent with such a role. *Trust* and *respect*, including for *equality and diversity,* are the foundation of our relationships.
