Equality and Diversity
Doncaster College does not tolerate any prejudicial behaviour
by any member of the College. The College is committed to ensuring
that it does not discriminate either directly or indirectly against
individuals on the grounds of gender, race, disability, sexual
orientation, religion or belief, employment status,
age.
Discrimination affects the ability of groups and individuals
to take part on an equal basis with others at work, in education
and training and in all aspects of everyday life. Such
discrimination dismisses the opportunity available to these groups
and goes against the principles of the College's
Mission.
Doncaster College will:
- Promote an ethos and image that positively reflects the
College's commitment to equality, diversity & race
equality;
- Ensure that all students and potential members of the College
community are aware of the policy. All students are required
to comply with this policy.
- Ensure that all staff and potential staff are aware and comply
with equality, diversity and race equality policies;
- Provide an accessible, physical environment in accordance with
the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 which positively reflects
the College's commitment to equality and diversity;
- Provide a supportive learning and social environment throughout
the whole College;
- Ensure that curriculum content, materials and delivery reflect
the College's commitment to equality and diversity;
- Where appropriate, provide student support services to meet
individual learning needs;
- Effectively utilise resources to implement the College's
equality, diversity & race equality policies;
- Ensure effective monitoring of equality and diversity at all
levels of the College's reporting mechanisms
The College is totally opposed to any form of discrimination
and if any member of the College community considers that they have
been treated unfairly, they may have grounds for a complaint which
will be dealt with through the complaints procedure.
Any form of discrimination may be treated as a disciplinary
offence resulting, if appropriate, in disciplinary action under the
College's Disciplinary Procedure.
