The College welcomes a very diverse community which includes people with physical, mental and emotional disabilities and learning difficulties, those of particular religions, beliefs or philosophical beliefs or sexual orientation, including transgender persons, and people from countries across the world with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, speaking many languages. We also welcome people of all ages and have a special duty of care for children and young people under the age of 18 years and vulnerable adults.
We are committed to equality of opportunity for students and staff and the elimination of all forms of discriminatory or oppressive behaviour between individuals or groups. All students and staff are expected to show forethought in ensuring full respect for each other's personal dignity. Bullying, harassment, abuse or discrimination against any individual or group will not be tolerated.
The College's Equality & Diversity Committee meets at intervals throughout the year to monitor student and staff rights & responsibilities. In addition to this we also hold a Student Equality and Diversity Forum once a term. For further details on how to join the forum contact Shantheni Powell on 01903 606113 or email:
