Equality, diversity and inclusion are not just principles we uphold at the College, they are at the heart of the culture we strive to foster among all students, staff, and visitors.
The College embraces and celebrates diversity in all its forms. Our community is made up of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing unique perspectives, experiences and cultural heritage. We believe that a truly inclusive learning and working environment is one where everyone feels respected, valued and able to thrive.
Our commitment to EDI goes beyond meeting legal requirements. We take a proactive approach to creating a College community that recognises and celebrates difference. We understand that fostering equality and inclusion is an ongoing journey, requiring reflection, adaptability, and continual progress.
We regularly review our policies and practices to ensure they are inclusive and responsive to the needs of our community. In line with our legal duties, this includes consideration of all protected characteristics:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage and civil partnership
- Pregnancy and maternity
- Race
- Religion or belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
We actively seek feedback from students and staff and set meaningful targets to drive improvements. These actions help us remain accountable and responsive in creating an inclusive environment.
