We value all our students, staff and visitors equally, regardless of sexual orientation, and want to create an environment in which everyone, whatever their sexuality, feels equally welcome and valued.
We're also proud to be a Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champion. This gives us access to best practice in policy and procedure development, networking opportunities with other organisations, and the opportunity to benchmark ourselves against competitors. It also highlights our commitment to equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) staff and students, and potential staff and students.
LGBT History Month
Every February, the college joins the rest of the UK in marking Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) History Month.
In spite of advances in LGBT rights in the last few years, we still have a long way to go before we achieve equality. Worldwide, there are still eight countries where homosexuality is punishable with the death penalty and 72 other countries and territories worldwide continue to criminalise same-sex relationships.
In the UK, transgender people are more likely to experience harassment and abuse, and studies of the education system suggest that bullying is widespread amongst transgender students.
