Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Myerscough College

At the heart of our values is a desire to provide fair employment opportunities and experiences that are accessible to all people, regardless of any individual characteristics. We work hard to ensure, as much as we reasonably can, that no-one is discriminated against, treated unfairly or made to feel unwelcome as a result of who they are or what makes them uniquely them.

We understand that people thrive when they feel they can be themselves and bring their true self to work. We wish to maintain a culture where everyone can feel accepted, valued, and psychologically safe.  FREDIE (Fairness, Respect, Engagement, Diversity, Inclusion and Equality) is the acronym that represents the important components of our culture and values.

The College is a proud and recognised a 'Mindful Employer' a ‘Disability Confident Employer’ and ‘Leader in Diversity'.

Armed Forces Friendly:

We recognise the contribution and sacrifice made by members of the Armed Forces community and we are proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant. We are an Armed Forces friendly organisation. We welcome applications from members of the Armed Forces community. We recognise and value the diverse skills, qualities, experiences, and attributes that members of the Armed Forces community can bring to the workplace. We believe no-one should face disadvantage when pursuing educational or employment opportunities, nor should they face any disadvantage during their education or employment experience. We are committed to removing barriers and providing an environment that enables everyone to thrive.
