Equality and Diversity
What is Equality & Diversity?
Equality is about removing barriers and making sure people from all sections of our community have fair and equal opportunities to access our learning services. Diversity is about respecting and valuing people’s differences and treating them in an appropriate way.
At Dartington we actively celebrate the diversity of our learning community and aim to be inclusive, maintaining a learning environment that is free of all types of discrimination at all times.
Issues of equality and diversity are covered by the Equality Act (2010) which aims to protect our human rights to be treated fairly, equitably and without discrimination regardless of our age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability, marital status, or race.
More information about these protected characteristics can be found here (new website).

Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults
The Dartington Learning Community is registered with the Office for Students, and is committed to ensuring that all students have a fulfilling experience of higher education. The environment in which they learn and study is key to achieving this aim. In order to succeed, they need to feel safe, healthy and part of a tolerant, inclusive academic community.
Emergency Procedures for the health and safety of our learning community are on the student resources site.
