Equality & Diversity

At MidKent College we are committed to providing a learning and working environment that is based on equality of opportunity, and which embraces and celebrates the diversity of our staff, students and community. We recognise that diversity can be multi-dimensional and may include any combination of the following: race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, faith, and gender reassignment, as well as social and educational background, nationality, marital status and family or care responsibilities.
 

As a direct result of this commitment, the College was recently awarded Investors in Diversity status, a new standard issued by the National Centre for Diversity.

Our approach

We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity and fairness in all areas of the College, and value the diversity of our colleagues and students, as well as the people living within our local communities.

We recognise that Equality & Diversity is a college-wide priority and that all MidKent College employees and students are responsible for promoting inclusive practices and positive relationships between people of all groups.

Our commitment is strengthened by a number of strategies and policies, including:

·         Single Equality Scheme

·         Equal Opportunities Policy

·         Disability Statement

·         Dignity at Work and College Policy

·         Equality Impact Assessments
