Spotlight on... Teresa Williams

This week we meet Teresa Williams, Interim Head of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (Operations) at the Office of the President and Provost. Here, Teresa chats to us about working with the Disability Equality Steering Group to reduce barriers faced by disabled staff. What is your role and what does it involve?. I am Interim Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (Operations), supporting the smooth running of the Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Team. A key focus of mine is on reducing barriers faced by disabled staff, by advocating and facilitating change. I work closely with the Disability Equality Steering Group, who are disabled staff - they are really keen to see some change at UCL. I also oversee some race equality programmes - BMEntor - mentoring schemes for black and minority ethnic staff and Fair Recruitment Specialists, which is proving popular. How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?.
