Equality & Diversity

Through our Equality and Diversity Policy and related procedures, we set clear objectives and approaches to ensure we encourage and support all individuals, irrespective of protected characteristic, to develop and fulfil their individual potential. As a result, our students and staff are given equal opportunity to engage with, and benefit from, the services we offer. This maximises their contribution to College life and to the future economic success of Angus, Dundee and beyond.

We ensure all staff, students and other stakeholders are treated equally, regardless of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation and marriage and civil partnership.
