About us: 

We are a small, agile team that sits within the wider HR department. We provide a key service to the University in shaping and driving its health, safety and wellbeing culture and ensuring that these activities support the University’s wider strategy and ambitions. We strive to achieve this through robust strategies and policies, strong leadership, sound governance, excellent professional advice, targeted coaching and training and reliable performance monitoring and measurement. 

As a Team, we take pride in being friendly, approachable, and professional, taking a pragmatic view of risk to support and facilitate the work the University does. A key aim is to engage and encourage ownership of risk and to share best practice across the University.
