Equal Opportunities

The College has adopted the following Equal Opportunities Policy statement: 

“This College is steadfast in its opposition to discrimination on the grounds of

* Race, colour, age, gender, disability, social class, nationality, ethnic or national origins;

* Sexuality, HIV/AIDS, marital status, family responsibility, unemployment or trade union activities;

* Religious or political beliefs, unless in the exercising of those beliefs an   individual offends the letter and spirit of the policy."

The College will ensure that everyone who seeks education, training or employment shall receive fair and equal treatment, and only relevant skills, ability, aptitudes and experience will be taken into account.”

For some years now, the College has been committed to increasing awareness amongst staff and students of the nature of sexist and racist attitudes and practices. It has taken steps to eradicate them and has had procedures for protecting those who experience sexual or racial harassment.

The member of academic staff who has a particular responsibility for equal opportunities issues is the Registrar.
