Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Portland College has a detailed and comprehensive Equality, Diversity and Inclusion scheme.

The College has demonstrated its commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion matters in a number of ways, including allocating specific responsibilities throughout the College, beginning at Governing Body level.

The targets we strive towards cover key themes:

  • Promoting EDI within our programme delivery
  • Promoting EDI in our working practices
  • Promoting EDI in employment practices
  • Promoting EDI in independent living and citizenship

We define Equality, Diversity & Inclusion as follows:

  • Equality means treating people equally
  • Diversity means recognising, encouraging and accommodating differences
  • Inclusion, in both a social and educational context, means recognising every individual’s right to be treated equally, and to be accorded the same services and opportunities as everyone else.
