Diversity And Inclusion At South Thames College Group

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are central to the work of the South Thames Colleges Group. We will treat all people with dignity and respect and we will promote equality of opportunity, inclusive practice and diversity. Within each College, we treat each other fairly, with respect and dignity.

We strive to create an environment where everyone is supported in realising their goals and aspirations. Therefore, we promote equality and inclusion, celebrate diversity and will not tolerate discrimination, which is not only wrong but also hurtful and can be illegal.

We have adopted equality as a core value for the organisation and see it as a significant influence on all aspects of our organisational behaviour.

Our underlying commitment is to eliminate discrimination and promote equality and inclusivity across all protected characteristics which translates to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion being embedded in all policies, practices, decision making and evaluative processes. Our approach spans the experiences of both staff and students and we have recently adopted an evidence-based plan to focus our actions on equal outcomes for identified groups.
