University of Sussex Students' Union

The Students' Union is a charity, separate from the University. We are here to represent all students, ensuring your voices (particularly those of the most vulnerable students) are heard and responded to by the University.

We exist to improve the student experience, and we do this by running sports clubs, supporting student societies, putting on student events, providing bars, cafes, shops, jobs, and a lot more - all for our students!

The Students' Union is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone is treated equally and with respect. We commit ourselves to promoting equal opportunities as an employer, as a representative and campaigning body, and as a provider of services. We will not tolerate any form of discrimination including harassment and bullying based on one or more of the following grounds or any other irrelevant distinction:

Age, ability or disability, ethnic origin, caring or parental responsibilities, pregnancy, gender assignment/ identity/ presentation, HIV status, marital status, nationality, faith, physical appearance, race, sexual orientation, spent or irrelevant criminal convictions, trade union affiliation, employment status, socio- economic background, medical condition, full or part time student status, mental health status or other irrelevant distinction.

This list is not exhaustive but illustrates our commitment in regarding such discrimination as unacceptable.

In addition to promoting an inclusive culture for all by providing equality of opportunity, the Students' Union also recognises the value of difference and is committed to enhancing diversity by recognising, respecting and valuing different identities, perspectives and backgrounds.
