Macclesfield College of Further and Higher Education is committed to actively promoting equality and diversity, tackling discrimination, harassment and victimisation and narrowing achievement gaps. The College works continually to meet its obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and equality and diversity is placed at the heart of College policies and procedures.
The College actively seeks to advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between people who the Equality Act identifies as possessing ‘protected characteristics’ and people who do not share such characteristics. These are listed as: age*, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership**
Equality and diversity issues are considered as an integral part of managing and operating the College to ensure that the decisions taken, and the services provided act to further our Equality Objectives.
Through a successful partnership with local primary and secondary schools, Macclesfield College has developed a range of Equality & Diversity Policies. The Macclesfield College Equality and Diversity Committee further develops these policies and delivers a well-focused action plan setting out the annual priorities for actively promoting equality and diversity at Macclesfield College.
