Equality & Diversity

'Worcester College of Technology celebrates and values the diversity brought to it by all members of the College community. We endeavour to provide the necessary services and support to enable all members of our community to achieve their full potential.'

Our equality statement means that the College will not simply uphold and meets its duties under equality law, but will actively seek to eliminate discrimination and celebrate diversity.

Equality and Diversity are integral elements of the services that we offer to our students and we celebrate difference and diversity. We are proud to offer:

• A varied and exciting programme of events to celebrate equality and diversity, including competitions, roadshows, Islamic awareness week, and displays around the College that provide information and discussions of gay issues.
• A range of support and action groups available for students to join,including Open Doors, G.L.B.T. group (Gay Lesbian, Bi-sexual and Transsexual Group), and a Black and Asian group.
• An Equality, Diversity and Disability Policy, which includes our Race Equality Policy and action plan. As part of the Race Equality plan, we aim to promote good race equality across college, by monitoring the numbers of students from a minority ethnic background to ensure that the College student body reflects the local community and that all students reach their best potential.
