Single Equality Scheme

Gateway College is committed to providing an environment which values all individuals equally. The College encourages full participation by all, focusing on maximum achievement for each individual. Everyone at Gateway College has the right to freedom from discrimination at all times, regardless of disability, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexuality.

Any form of verbal or physical behaviour which undermines an individual’s sense of worth or feeling of security will not be tolerated.

Security

A team of Campus Officers, CCTV surveillance and ID cards are just some of the ways in which the College implements its security policies. However, the College cannot accept responsibility for the damage to or theft of personal property, including cycles, brought onto the campus at any time.
