The College is committed to promoting and developing equality in all areas of its work. This involves embedding equality and diversity values into every aspect of the College’s activities.
We believe that all staff and learners should be treated as the individuals they are, with different needs regardless of age, disability, gender and gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnerships, pregnancy, maternity, race, religious belief and sexual orientation. Anyone attending or working for the College should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential, having equal access and choice. |
