Equality Diversity and Inclusion Statement
The College has an ED&I Policy, which presents our
Mainstreaming Vision:
"To nurture an environment in which the equality,
diversity and inclusion of students, staff and visitors
from all backgrounds are routinely anticipated,
expertly accommodated and positively celebrated."
As detailed by the College's ED&I Initiative 2017-2025,
key aspects of effectively mainstreaming the Public
Sector Equality Duty across College functions are:
• Strategic management and operations.
• Evidence consideration.
• Student, staff and community engagement and
involvement.
The College is committed to developing a diverse
workforce which reflects the communities we serve. As
such, the College will appoint, develop and promote on
the basis of merit and ability alone and strive to ensure
fairness, advance opportunities and foster respect for all
our applicants and staff.
In relation to disabled applicants in particular, we will
consider all applications for employment, bearing in
mind the aptitudes of the individuals concerned. Where
an existing employee becomes disabled every effort is
made to ensure that their employment with the College
continues. The College's policy is to provide training,
career development and opportunities for promotion to
disabled staff which are, as far as possible, identical to
those for other employees.
City of Glasgow College also understands that it is
essential to develop a supportive organisational culture,
which values people from all sections of society and
the contribution each individual can make. In short, the
College will strive never to discriminate because of:
• Age.
• Disability.
• Gender identity and reassignment.
• Marriage and civil partnership.
• Pregnancy and maternity.
• Race.
• Religion or belief.
• Sex.
• Sexual orientation.
We endeavour to ensure that all our staff policies,
procedures, practices and benefits are inclusive across
all these protected characteristics. All Colleges policies,
procedures and decisions will undergo an Equality Impact
Assessment (EqIA). Please see the ED&I section of the
College website for more details.

(PSED) under the Equality Act 2010, comprising :
