Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Portland College has a detailed and comprehensive Equality & Diversity Policy which is supported by targets for the 2009/10 academic year.

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:

• Commitment, Communication & Awareness
• Teaching, Training, Support & Guidance
• Environment & Access
• Monitoring & Target Setting
• Inclusion & Involvement

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.
