We value the diversity of our college communities and we are committed to inclusion for all in everything we do. We ensure that all of our students receive the same provision and access to our services. We encourage a culture of respect and commit to tackling prejudice at all levels.

By encouraging students and staff to share their own experiences, we aim to promote mutual understanding.
