## **Social Inclusion at Warwick is about removing economic, social, and cultural barriers that have prevented people from working, studying, and succeeding at the University.**

We launched the Social Inclusion Strategy in August 2019, as a framework to deliver our ambition for Warwick to be a place that truly thrives on difference. The Social Inclusion Strategy will help Warwick to re-imagine the original purpose of setting up the University in 1965, to ‘increase access to higher education’.

The Strategy, overseen by the Social Inclusion team, outlines our strategic objectives to 2030 - to increase the diversity of Warwick's staff and students, develop a culture that supports students and staff in achieving their potential, and become an internationally recognised leader in inclusion.

### “Inclusion is not merely a principle, it is a commitment to cultivating a culture where talent is nurtured, knowledge is both created and shared, and every individual feels welcomed and valued. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of our mutual responsibilities as human beings. Inclusion means recognising and respecting the impact our actions and work have on others, and ensuring that students, staff, and the wider community are at the heart of everything we do.”

Kulbir Shergill, Director of Social Inclusion
