Valley College Equality Objectives
The Equality Act is often described as having three specific 'aims'.
These are:
Equality of opportunity
Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
Elimination of unlawful discrimination
Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Act.
Fostering good relations
Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.

Valley College is committed to providing an environment free from discrimination, bullying, harassment or victimisation where all members of our community are treated with respect and dignity.
We aim to provide a dynamic working environment where all our learners are valued for their contribution and individuality.
Zero Tolerance
Valley College will act on every report of harassment, discrimination, bullying or behaviour that threatens to undermine someone's dignity, in the swiftest way possible. Should evidence be found that such an act has occurred, we will take prompt action.
