Equality and diversity
The Trust affirms its belief in the uniqueness and value of each individual by providing learning opportunities which enable young people with differing abilities to achieve their potential.
The Trust celebrates diversity amongst its pupils / students / residents, staff and visitors and recognises the contribution which individuals with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences can make to the life of the Trust.
The Trust recognises that some individuals and groups experience discrimination and disadvantage in their access to education, training and employment and is committed to policies and practices which promote equality and redress disadvantage within the current legislative framework.
Equality and diversity
In particular, the Trust believes that no individual or group should receive less favourable treatment as a consequence of their disability, gender, age, colour ethnic origin, culture, religious beliefs, marital status, responsibility for dependants, employment status, sexual orientation, trade union affiliation or social and economic status.
The Trust will monitor the effectiveness of this policy by analysing relevant information, evaluating it and carrying out the appropriate actions. The Trust’s commitment to equality of opportunity and the elimination of discrimination extends to applicants, pupils, students, residents, employees, volunteers and visitors.
“The promotion of equality, diversity and respect for individuals underpins all College activities. Diverse cultures are celebrated well. Deaf awareness underpins all activities”.
