The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is a vibrant community where an inclusive culture is promoted and diversity is valued. We support the University's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and subscribe to the Equal Opportunities Policy.
We have an active Equality and Diversity Committee to ensure these best practices are maintained and new strategies are developed to promote an inclusive and thriving environment at the Institute.
CSCI & Haematology Equality and Diversity Committee and Champions
The committee meets termly to support the dissemination, development and implementation of guidelines, procedures and policies related to equality and diversity. It is made up of members at all levels across the Institute and Department of Haematology. Staff and students are encouraged to contact the committee and/or join the meetings on an adhoc basis to raise any issues.
CSCI also has two Equality and Diversity Champions who provide visible leadership and promote good practice on gender equality: Srinjan Basu and Brian Huntly.

Zero Tolerance to Bullying, Harassment and Victimisation
The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute regard all forms of bullying, harassment and victimisation as unacceptable. It is the responsibility of each member of the Institute, both staff and students, to assist in promoting an environment of mutual respect and consideration.
Bullying is any behaviour which makes someone feel intimidated, humiliated or offended, whether or not it is intended to do so.
Harassment is unwanted conduct that violates another person’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment and may be related to: sex or gender, age, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity or other grounds, and is illegal. In particular, sexual harassment includes any unwanted sexual comments or jokes as well as unwanted physical contact.
Victimisation is the hostile treatment of someone who has made a complaint about discrimination or has helped someone who has been the victim of discrimination.
