Equality Statement
John Wheatley College recognises the strength of a multi-cultural and diverse society and is committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all. The College values the diversity of its workforce and learner population. Its equality policies, procedures, equality schemes and associated action plans apply to all learners, staff, partnership organisations, contractors and service providers who shall be required to comply with their requirements.
It is committed to equality of opportunity for all and strives to ensure that there are no barriers to the progress of learners or staff.
Learners and staff deserve equal and mutual respect at all levels. Mutual respect, cooperation and understanding are expected of all learners, staff partnership organisations, contractors and service providers. Learners and staff should neither condone nor tolerate behaviour that discriminates against or undermines the dignity or self-esteem of any individual or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.
The College recognises that the provision of equality of opportunity in the workplace is not only good management practice but ensures the delivery of a high quality service to learners and the communities it serves. The College’s continuing commitment to equality and diversity will help all employees to develop their full potential and talents, and ensure resources are fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the service which the College provides.
It is committed to ensuring that all learners receive appropriate impartial guidance. Learners will be treated fairly and provided with guidance to help them select programmes which assist them to meet their educational and other aspirations. All applicants will be viewed impartially and will not normally be denied access to a programme of study without an educationally justifiable or legal reason. The College seeks to provide all learners with support to assist them progress within their agreed programme of study. In addition learning opportunities are provided which promote equality and recognise the value of diversity in society.
This statement is supported by a number of College policies, procedures and Equality Schemes and associated Action Plans.
In November 2009 the College underwent an HMIe Quality Review. The Inspectorate were, as a consequence, able to make ‘unqualified’ confidence statements about the quality of the College provision which are detailed below. They were also able to identify at the College a number of sector leading innovative practices. A full copy of the report was published on 19 February 2010 and is available at www.hmie.gov.uk
