Equal opportunities
LJMU is committed to creating a learning and working environment which values and recognises the full potential of each person.
The University has a comprehensive Equality and Diversity Policy that complies with the UK and European Union anti-discriminatory legislation. The policy articulates the right of every individual to proper personal respect, and outlines a clear commitment to challenging discrimination and the distress this causes. For example, LJMU will not tolerate any form of unfair discriminatory practices or harassment including: offensive remarks, language, graffiti, pin-ups and jokes which are based upon a person’s age, disability, ethnic origin, gender, marital or family status, nationality race, religion or sexual orientation. Unwelcome physical advances constitute harassment. Students and staff may be disciplined and dismissed where discrimination is proved.
Most students will go through university life without experiencing unfair discrimination, but for some of you this will be real and will require immediate action and support. Should you experience discrimination or harassment, whether this occurs in student accommodation, in a classroom, or during a placement, please bring this immediately to the attention of your Tutor, your School Director, or staff in any of LJMU’s Student Zones in the LRCs. Staff will offer you advice and direct you to the most appropriate support and guidance network. Any action taken will be based on your consent.
LJMU positively encourages students to disclose any disability which may affect them on their course. By disclosing a disability, it will ensure that the appropriate support or ‘reasonable adjustments’ are put in to place to try to reduce any barriers you may face due to your disability, health or mental health condition or specific learning difficulty. We positively welcome disclosure from students at any point during your time with us, and we hope that you can feel confident in disclosing details to staff throughout the University.

Individual student support
LJMU treats every student as an individual, tailoring support and guidance to ensure that they can become effective individual learners. Our aim is not to remove all difficulties and solve all problems, but to help you address matters yourself and with our support, to find and develop your own solutions.
Academic support is provided by personal tutors or year tutors, and by the academic leaders of the particular modules being studied.
