The EDI commitee have developed and implemented alongside Student Services and HR a policy and guidelines around protecting Gender Identity & Gender Expression at TU Dublin. Guides to available Student & Staff supports are included, whether you are in the position of transitioning during your time here or at any stage, or wishing to support a classmate or colleague

A group for staff wishing to apply a purposefully gender inclusive approach to their work. The aim is to create a safe, supportive, and reflective space for staff of all genders and from all areas of the University to enable an intersectional approach to gender inclusion in our classrooms and support services

Speak Out is an anonymous reporting tool that allows all members of our community (staff, students and visitors) to record negative personal or witnessed incidents (such as bullying, discrimination, or hate speech/crimes) that they have experienced during their time at TU Dublin. Because it is completely annoymous, Speak Out is not a formal reporting mechanism, but allows us to monitor trends of violence or harrassment in our University, and improve our reponse as an institution - and will also direct the reporter to appropriate follow-up information, formal reporting options, and supports
