What we are doing
- We are committed to accommodating where possible the individual needs that arise due to observance of an individual’s religion, belief or non-belief.
- We have dedicated prayer spaces, Wudu washing facilities and catering available for dedicated diets.
- We have facilities to accommodate for unique leave requests for our staff.
- We have a multi-faith and belief chaplaincy available on our campus.
- We have the Roundhouse, a multi-faith environment for individuals and groups, primarily for prayer, worship, meditation and contemplation and a Faith Hub on our Manor Park campus.
- We have established a Faith and Belief Forum, to enable staff and students to discuss matters connected to their faith and belief, and those that concern the University.
- We have dedicated faith and spirituality support that prospective and current students can access.
