Equality affects us all

Suffolk New College’s Centre for Equality and Diversity is your regional centre of expertise and source of advice and assistance for all matters to do with equality and diversity.

Equality is about making sure everyone has an equal chance to benefit from training or work opportunities. Diversity is about recognising, valuing and accommodating a full range of individuals.

Equality is not just fair and right but, increasingly, a legal requirement. The same is true of diversity. And both will benefit your bottom line.. An organisation that offers true equality of opportunity will recruit, retain and promote the best. A truly diverse organisation will be best placed to connect with the broadest possible range of potential clients.

As an established and expanding Further Education provider, Suffolk New College , is deeply rooted in a diverse, dynamic and growing community. It has helped develop tens of thousands of men and women. Equality and diversity are in its DNA.

Building on these unique strengths, the College has created a team of equality and diversity advisors with relevant commercial, legal, communications, training and accreditation expertise. The Centre is led by its director, Sarah Adams.
