Our commitment to being anti-racist
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in CLES
The College is committed to an inclusive and supportive environment for all our staff and students, and to continuous improvement in diversity and representation right across the College. As PVC, I am proud of the progress we have made and conscious of the need to go further. Inclusion must pervade everything we do, because diversity and well-being are critical to individual and collective happiness and success. These webpages provide a range of resources and links to help us all create a more inclusive environment. Please use them to do just that, and do pass suggestions back to us through the contacts provided or direct to me.
