Equality & Diversity
Dundee College is committed to a comprehensive policy of equal opportunities for its staff, students and other stakeholders and undertakes to adhere to all relevant legislation.
The College will ensure that all staff, students and other stakeholders are treated equally, regardless of age, disability, family responsibility, marital status, race, colour, ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, trade union activity, or unrelated criminal convictions.
We recognise that some of our students are “vulnerable” owing to their youth, their mental capacity and or personal circumstances. We will ensure that there are robust procedures in place to identify and support any individuals who may be or are subject to any form of abuse.
The College strives to eliminate all forms of discrimination and to celebrate the diversity of people who are directly and indirectly involved in the College.
