These guidelines have been drawn up to ensure that our legal responsibilities are met and that all our students are supported, protected and treated fairly. They are made available here as part of our commitment to open and transparent procedures. They may be of interest to students or anyone considering studying or working at the college.

At the MET we believe strongly in the importance and values of equality and diversity expressed in our strategic aims and core values. We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for both staff and students, to understanding and celebrating our diverse community and recognising the value of each individual’s contributions. We are fully committed to equality of treatment for all students, potential students, our staff and other service users, regardless of disability, race, gender (including gender reassignment), age, sexual orientation, religion or belief and will not tolerate any form of discrimination.

The Equality Act requires organisations to: 

• Publish equality information
