EQUALITY & DIVERSITY
Our aim is to advance equality, tackle discrimination and foster good relations in the wider community. There are a number of characteristics, protected by the Equality Act 2010. We know these as REGARDS. Race and ethnicity, Economic or social background, Gender, transgender, pregnancy, parenting, marital status, Age, Religion or belief, Disability and Sexual orientation. Students can talk to their Personal Tutor, Director of Studies or the Well-Being Centre about any concerns regarding equality. In 2016 we came 24th out of 600 organisations nationally for achieving Investors in Diversity Stage 2 Award. This recognised our ongoing commitment to the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion in order to create a culture of openness and acceptance.
PASTORAL SUPPORT
The Pastoral Support at Hereford Sixth Form College is a great strength of the College and helps support students throughout their time studying with us. All students are allocated a Personal Tutor who will oversee their welfare and academic progress. For more information, please see page 6. You will receive comprehensive information outlining College procedures when you start your courses to help with transitioning into College life.
SAFEGUARDING
Hereford Sixth Form College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its students and staff and expects all members of the College to share this commitment. Hereford Sixth Form College is concerned that all students remain safe and free from harm and we are committed to playing a full and active part in the multi-agency response to safeguarding concerns and considering any early help support required. The College has detailed safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures which are reviewed annually by the College’s Governing Body and can be accessed via the College website or on request from Reception.
