Governance & policies: Equality & Diversity

At Hereford College of Arts (HCA) we value social and cultural diversity. We work hard to promote equality of opportunity for all of our students and staff, as well as everyone else we come into contact with.

The College is committed to ensuring everyone is given equal access to opportunities and is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of age, gender, gender identity, disability, race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, belief or lack of religion/belief, marriage or civil partnership or sexual orientation.

Courses go out of their way to cover issues which affect people on a day to day basis and to integrate Equality and Diversity into everything that students are part of. HCA aims to provide environments that encourage everyone to participate in learning, and to provide a safe community for learning, where harassment and bullying are not tolerated.
