Personal advice
The EDI Advice Service aims to provide support for Advance HE member institutions. We are unable to advise staff members or students on their personal experiences. If you need advice relating to your personal experiences we recommend you seek advice from:
- Your institutions human resources department, student services team or equality, diversity and inclusion staff.
- Your trade or Students’ Union
- Many charities such as Disability Rights UK, Maternity Action and Gendered Intelligence have advice services who may be able to assist.
- Acas, the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service helpline
- Equality Advisory and Support Service
