Halesowen College values social and cultural diversity and aims to ensure you will find the College to be an inclusive and welcoming place to study. We are a learner-concentrated organization with values based on trust, integrity, and respect. We seek to provide a working environment free from harassment, discrimination, and victimization. We will not tolerate any form of discriminatory behavior against actual or potential learners, visitors, or employees. The College goals to actively promote equality of occasion and challenge discriminatory attitudes. Equality and diversity impact everyone as we all work in diverse teams with people of different genders, ethnic origins, sexual orientation, skills, beliefs, values, and working styles. It is significant to understand what we mean by equality and diversity, how it affects everyday life, and the reasons for and benefits of promoting it. We are committed to creating an inclusive College, where people are treated with dignity and respect and where we anticipate and respond positively to different wants and circumstances so that everyone can achieve their potential.
