Equal Opportunities Policy
The College promotes equality of opportunity and seeks to respond positively to the particular needs of all our students through:
- Identifying and removing unfair practices
- Fostering positive images of all groups
- Encouraging participation by all groups at all levels by recognising barriers and striving to remove them
- Attempting to meet the particular needs of students and staff so everyone has opportunities including part-time study, Open Learning and courses starting outside the traditional college year.
