Gender Equality Scheme

Dundee College is committed to a comprehensive policy of equal opportunities for its staff and students. The College aims to ensure that all staff and students 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.

In order that all students and staff are treated with equality and fairness and that their treatment is based solely on objective criteria, the College ensures that equality issues are embedded into all relevant policies and procedures.

As a learning environment and as a major employer we strive to make the organisation completely inclusive in which all people, irrespective of gender, can participate fully as equal citizens. We have undertaken to adhere to the relevant legislation – Equality Act 2006.

With the Equality Act 2006 we welcome this opportunity to publish our Gender Equality Scheme whereby we become proactive agents of change. Our scheme covers students, staff and service users, and sets out our framework to tackle discrimination and institutional barriers before these can impact on an individual.
