Departmental Bronze Award

13 July 2018
“Bronze department awards recognise that in addition to institution-
wide policies, the department is working to promote gender equality
and to identify and address challenges particular to the department and
discipline.”
• So in other words….it’s the starting point
(analysis, identify the issues, put effective action
plan in place)
• However, the panel will expect some form of
action or activity to date!

“In addition to the future planning required for Bronze department
recognition, Silver department awards recognise that the department
has taken action in response to previously identified challenges and
can demonstrate the impact of these actions.”
And for Silver…
• So in other words…Analyse the activity to date,
show the impact, analyse data, identify further
issues, put effective action plan in place.
• Includes Professional Services Staff

My approach – risky?
• Lot of work – so what do I want from it?
• Realistic assessment – ruled out silver early
• Opportunity to develop actions/self-assess that we thought important

My approach – practicalities / plan (6 months)
• Building a SAT (and role delegation)
• Work plan + defined timeline (incl. consultation)
• Dedicated writing slots

PHASE ONE:
• basic data collation and analysis
• draft core sections
• plan of next step data collection
PHASE TWO:
• focus groups
• All-level survey
Delegation of sections

My approach – key principles
• 1. Using phase two activity to understand outcomes of phase one review (informed / targeted
approach to data collection)
• 2. Understand causality (to inform action)
• 3. Understand local issues (testing assumptions)

“In order to understand the gender
imbalance within our School and
discipline, we conducted a sub-
discipline review to assess
whether gender imbalances differ
across Psychological sub-
disciplines.”

My experience
• Small chunks of writing made it very achievable
• Delegating information gathering better
• Delegating writing = limited success
• Ask people to give you text – NOT comments!

Tips and recommendations
• Be realistic, innovative and use the opportunity
• Clear ownership (delegation of writing???)
• Clear work plan and timeline (realistic) – consultations?
• Know and use available support
• Lay foundation for silver – baseline data?
• Remember to declare intention to submit
• Independent review – aim for clarity
