Equality & Diversity
The Windsor Forest Colleges Group is proud of its diverse student and staff community. The College currently has students from more than 100 nations, with the youngest aged 14 and the oldest aged 90.
Our Single Equality Scheme outlines how we seek to ensure that the College is free from discrimination and strives constantly to move beyond legal compliance towards best practice in promoting and celebrating equality and diversity.
We are committed to promoting equality and opposing discrimination on the protected characteristics under The Equality Act 2010, namely:

Gender
Disability
Values, beliefs and faith
Socio-economic background
Transgender/gender re-assignment

Socio-economic background is not a “protected characteristic” under the Equality Act 2010. We have included it as we consider the experiences of people whose life chances are affected by their social identity, in particular those from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, important.
