Dignity and Respect Framework

Dignity and Respect Framework

Dignity and respect are at the heart of the core values of the University. Keele is a diverse, inclusive and professional community that respects individual’s and enables them to strive for success in order to contribute positively and sustainably in the local region, wider society and national economy.

The purpose of the Dignity and Respect Framework is to translate these strategic commitments into everyday working practice at Keele. There is a need to define, in fairly flexible terms, what dignity and respect feels like and looks like. The Framework aims to promote positive relationships by helping to focus and interpret these mutual expectations within a complex and diverse organisation.

In conceiving the Framework, four broad themes have been derived from the strategic Equality and Diversity commitments:

  • Leadership and Management
  • Collaborative working with students
  • Learning and development
  • Culture and community
