Stonewall Proud Employers Accreditation

The University submitted its first application to the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index (now the Proud Employers Accreditation) in 2019, with the aim of becoming a top 100 Employer by 2025. This was achieved in 2024, with the University of Sussex being ranked 30 in the Stonewall top 100 employers list.

Stonewall

Stonewall is an LGBTQ+ rights charity based in the UK. Named after the Stonewall riots in New York’s Greenwich village in 1969, the charity is now the largest LGBTQ+ charity in Europe. Stonewall provides help and guidance aids for LGBTQ+ people and organisations, including guides on terminology and community resources.

Proud Employers Accreditation

We are committed to submitting an application to the Proud Employers Programme (formerly the Workplace Equality Index) every four years.

In 2024, we were ranked 30th in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index Top 100. We will apply again in 2028. In the meantime, we are progressing actions on our institutional LGBTQ+ Action Plan to further advance LGBTQ+ inclusion at Sussex.
