The LGBT Charter for organisations is a programme run by LGBT Youth Scotland that enables organisations to proactively include LGBTQI+ people in every aspect of their work, supporting their staff and providing a high-quality service to all service users.

Our Student Experience Directorate currently holds a Silver-level LGBT Charter Mark.

Strath Union, the students' union, also holds an LGBT Charter at Bronze level.

This central online hub was developed by the University’s LGBTQI+ Working Group to provide visibility, celebration and information for LGBTQI+ applicants, students and staff at Strathclyde, and to raise awareness and foster good relations among the wider University community and our partners. The Working Group is a collaboration between the University and Strath Union, and is Chaired by Professor Ian Rivers (Executive Dean HaSS and Associate Principal) and managed by the Equality & Diversity Office.

The Working Group collaborated throughout academic years 2022/23 and 2023/24 to develop this online resource, and accompanying activity and events.

The Ask Alex service for trans, non-binary and gender diverse students and staff connects named contacts working across the University who can provide advice, assistance and support in a range of areas. The named contacts act as a friendly first port-of-call who can coordinate support or find out information on your behalf.
