Promoting Racial Equality

At Glasgow Kelvin College, we are deeply committed to promoting racial equality and ensuring that our environment is free from any form of racial discrimination. Our dedication to creating an inclusive and respectful community is reflected in our ongoing efforts to support anti-racism and decolonise the curriculum.

Commitment to Race Equality in Employment

The College is committed to improving the working lives of minority ethnic staff and to supporting staff stay in and progress in employment.

The College will:

• Undertake an assessment of it’s understanding of racism and the structural barriers that may exist in our organisation and take actions to address these where they exist;
• Review its recruitment procedures and practice. It will monitor, analyse and report its recruitment and selection data annually against all protected characteristics; and
• Record and publish our ethnicity pay gap data annually.
