Introduction 1.1 Askham Bryan College celebrates and values the diversity brought to it by all those individuals who live, work and learn here and believes the College will benefit from attracting and retaining learners and staff from a variety of backgrounds. The principles of equality and diversity are at the heart of College life and are supported by appropriate policies, procedures and good practice. 1.2 Equality and Diversity are embedded within many of the College s Strategic Priorities. Equality of opportunity and inclusivity are fundamental to the Equality Vision and Values of the College. 1.3 This Policy should be read in conjunction with the College s Equality Action Plan. 2. Scope 2.1 This policy applies to all individuals involved with the College, including staff, students, individuals contracted to provide services and visitors to our premises. 2.2 This policy covers equality and diversity in relation to the protected characteristics as described by the Equality Act These are: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex and sexual orientation. 3. Aims 3.1 To ensure that all individuals are treated fairly and with dignity and respect. 3.2 To create and promote an inclusive and positive culture and environment, fostering good relations and challenging and preventing prejudice, discrimination and harassment. 3.3 To enable all individuals to achieve their full potential, to contribute fully and derive maximum benefit and enjoyment from their involvement in the life of the College. 3.4 To promote awareness, understanding and involvement in equality and diversity matters among staff and students

2 3.5 To promote the ethos of the Prevent agenda by encouraging free and open debate amongst students, whilst challenging extremism. Our aim is that through classroom practice and social activities, staff and students will support belief in equality of opportunity and the celebration of diversity as part of the promotion of British Values within the College. 3.6 This policy operates in accordance with legislation and other College policies and specifically those referred to in Appendix The College will ensure its policies, procedures and practices comply with relevant legislation. 4.

Adjustments to working and learning practices are considered wherever reasonably possible in order to accommodate a more diverse community. 5.5 The effectiveness of the policy will be monitored by measuring progress towards achieving equality objectives as set out in the Equality Action Plan and the consideration of relevant monitoring data. 5.6 Progress against the Equality Action Plan will be a standing item on the Equality and Diversity Steering Group agenda and will be reported to the Senior Management Team on a termly basis. 5.7 An annual report will be provided to the Governors by the Deputy Principal, Quality and Standards.
