About StEP
Co-developed by RCSI Bahrain students and staff, the StEP programme aims to promote and implement a culture of partnership and inclusivity, where the expertise and perspectives of both staff and students are equally valued. Included in the RCSI StEP framework are the guiding principles that RCSI considers to be best 'PRACTICE' for the student engagement and partnership programme:
- Professional: A partnership built on mutual respect, individual responsibility and appropriate accountability.
- Reciprocal: Both students and staff work with each other and benefit from each other’s expertise and perspectives.
- Authentic: Equal recognition of the value and expertise that students and staff bring.
- Community: A sense of belonging between partners and the wider RCSI community.
- Trust: Open and honest dialogue with all discussions treated with fairness and respect.
- Inclusive: All perspectives, talents and experiences are welcomed and embraced.
- Collaborative: Students and staff benefit and grow from one another's experience.
- Empowering: Partnerships in which power is shared appropriately to effect positive change.
