Equality and diversity statement and policies

The Manchester College aims to be one of the best organisations for equality and diversity. We work to achieve this by

  • creating a good and welcoming environment for people to learn and work
  • treating all people fairly and giving them all an equal chance to learn
  • encouraging people from different backgrounds to continue to learn during their life
  • adhering to legislation and associated regulations, and supporting legal requirements in our policies and procedures
  • reflecting our commitment to equality and diversity in all of our policies, courses and work
  • working proactively to combat discrimination and to encourage equality of treatment or outcomes

The Manchester College emphasises inclusiveness, openness and fairness, offering a positive outlook on the many differences, as well as well as similarities, that can affect how people interact with each other in the workplace or classroom. We value the abilities and skills that all individuals bring to the college.

Our courses, services and employment opportunities are available to everyone regardless of gender, race, disability, physical ability, mental capability, education, sexual orientation, religious belief, values, age, personality, experiences and culture. This list is not exhaustive.
