Shuttleworth College, as part of Bedford College, is committed
to the promotion and development of equality and diversity. We aim
to provide a working and learning environment which values
individuals equally, regardless of age, disability, ethnic origin,
gender, sexual orientation or re-orientation, marital status,
religion, belief or trade union membership.
The College is home to people from a range of cultures and
backgrounds with a variety of beliefs, attitudes, values and
abilities. We encourage everyone to share their experiences and
celebrate the diversity of the College.
Discrimination exists in many forms. Everyone should ensure that
their behaviour is not discriminatory and does not make any other
person feel uncomfortable. The College will not tolerate
harassment, bullying, victimisation or discrimination, and has
procedures in place to deal with, and provide support for,
individuals involved in such incidents.
The College monitors the ethnicity, age, gender and disability
of its students to ensure that it is representative of the local
community and gives everyone the opportunity to progress towards
their chosen goal.
The College takes seriously its commitments under the Race
Relations (Amendment) Act, the Disability Discrimination Act and
all other equal opportunities legislation.

& Diversity policy, the Disability

Equality policy, the Disability
