Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy

Life believes that science is for all and aims to inspire everyone in North East England to explore and enjoy science and to discover its relevance to their lives. As part of this, Life helps to promote aspirational role models who work in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) – including women and people from ethnically diverse communities – groups who are currently under-represented in these fields, particularly in senior roles. 

Life celebrates diversity amongst all its audiences, including customers, suppliers, partners, stakeholders and the team who work here. Life takes a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination and is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in which differences and the contributions of everyone are recognised and valued. 

This commitment is reflected in our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Policy. 

Life strives to provide equality and fairness for all and is committed to the ongoing review of its policies, employment practices and procedures. 

Life aspires to be the most accessible and inclusive visitor attraction in the UK and has earned an international reputation for its innovative work in creating a welcoming environment for all visitors. 

Inclusion and equality guide everything we do, shaping the workplace and visitor experience. It’s a mindset that is embedded in the culture of Life.
