Equality & Diversity
-
The Colleges’ Partnership is committed to promoting equality and diversity. We ensure that we perform all duties set out in The Equality Act 2010.
The Act makes it a crime to discriminate against anyone because of their protected characteristics. These characteristics include:
Age
Disability
Gender reassignment.
Marriage or civil partnership.
Pregnancy or maternity.
Race
Religion or belief.
Sex (gender).
Sexual orientation.
-
All staff, learners, contractors and stakeholders must follow our Equality & Diversity Policy. This ensures that everyone who works at or with The Colleges’ Partnership is treated equally, with dignity and respect.
-
Every year, we publish an Equality and Diversity Report. This outlines what we’ve done to promote acceptance and inclusivity, and sets objectives for the following year.
Disability Confident
Disability Confident is a government scheme that challenges ideas about disabled employees. It encourages employers to recognise the talents disabled people bring to the workplace.
The Colleges’ Partnership is proud to be a Disability Confident employer. We encourage others to do the same.
By making our workplace accessible, we enjoy a much wider pool of talent, and hire the best possible staff. Accepting disabilities into our workplace also helps normalise them. It encourages other employees to talk and learn about disabilities. That includes disabilities that are often non-visible, such as hearing loss.
