This is Kidderminster College’s first ‘Single Equality Scheme’ and sets out how the College will promote equality of opportunity regardless of race, gender, disability, age, faith or sexual orientation, in the delivery of its services and the employment of its staff.  It incorporates and therefore replaces the College’s Disability and Gender Equality Schemes, and its Race Equality Action Plan.


1 Introduction

Kidderminster College seeks to secure genuine equality of opportunity in all aspects of the life of the College so that everyone is treated fairly. The College is therefore committed to policies and practices which encourage equality of opportunity and eliminate unfair discrimination.  The College aims to ensure that no one is unfairly discriminated against on the grounds of race, colour, religion, belief, nationality, marital status, gender, age, sexual orientation, criminal record, disability or trade union activity.
This commitment applies to all students, employees, governors and others having contact with the College including other customers, visitors and members of the public.

The College values diversity in its workforce and its student body and is committed to recognising the contribution made by every individual.

Kidderminster College will encourage and support students and staff to challenge prejudice, stereotyping and intolerance, and will manage its policies, procedures and environment in ways that will seek to maintain every individual’s dignity and rights.
