National Star Foundation is committed to enabling people with disabilities to realise their potential through personalised learning, transition and lifestyle services. At National Star College we are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for our learners and staff.
We aim to create an environment where individuals are treated fairly, equally and with respect regardless of ethnic or national origin, disability, age, gender, gender identity, transgender, religion or belief, marital status, sexual orientation or other distinction. We recognise that everyone is different and treat these differences with equal value. We will challenge inequality and aim to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
We value:
- Equality
- Diversity
- Individuality
- Self Determination
And we believe in:
- Respect
- Integrity
- Perseverance
- Continuous Improvement
We:
- Deliver our services openly and fairly, in ways that suit each individual
- Invest in a skilled and diverse workforce
- Challenge discrimination in all its forms
We have an Equality and Diversity Policy and all staff receive annual development in equality and diversity. There is an active staff and student equality group "Spectrum" which meets regularly. We undertake monitoring and use the data to inform our decision making, strategy and objectives. Further information in respect of our equality action plan will be published shortly.
