OUR PRIORITIES
Empowering People, Embracing Progress.
At Westminster, our core priorities—inclusion, wellbeing and sustainable development—are central to our mission of fostering a supportive and forward-thinking community that empowers every individual and prepares our organisation to meet future challenges responsibly.
Wellbeing
Working and studying together at Westminster as a community of students and colleagues is a big part of our lives – doing so in an environment that places our wellbeing front and centre helps us to be safe and feel safe.
We care for the safety, health and wellbeing of those around us as well as ourselves. We believe that everyone has the right to feel fulfilled at work and study, connected to a community of colleagues and students who are passionate about making a positive impact on themselves, our workplaces, study spaces and those around us.
Inclusion
Inclusion at Westminster means embracing and celebrating the diversity of our community, ensuring every individual feels valued, respected, and heard. We strive to create an environment where differences are not only accepted but are seen as assets that enrich our collective experience. This involves actively dismantling barriers to participation, promoting equity in all areas, and fostering a culture where people from all backgrounds can thrive. From creating more accessible spaces to incorporating diverse perspectives in decision-making processes, our commitment to inclusion drives us to build a genuinely welcoming environment for everyone.
Sustainable Development
Sustainability is embedded in our vision for the future at Westminster. We are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and fostering responsible practices that support long-term ecological health. This involves integrating sustainable practices into all aspects of our operations, from campus infrastructure and resource management to academic programming and community initiatives. We encourage innovation and critical thinking around sustainability, equipping our community with the knowledge and tools to address pressing global challenges. Our commitment to sustainable development reflects our responsibility not only to the present but also to future generations, as we work toward creating a lasting positive impact on the world.
In combining these priorities, Westminster aims to build a holistic and forward-looking institution where inclusion, wellbeing and sustainability are foundational principles that shape our policies, culture and actions. Through these commitments, we seek to create a thriving community where everyone can succeed and contribute meaningfully.
