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 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 awarded Investors in Diversity status – a new standard issued by the National Centre for Diversity – in July 2009. This status was reaccredited in November 2011.
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 Equality and 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.
