The Sheffield College has received another award for its work on diversity and inclusion.
The organisation has achieved the Leaders in Diversity Award from the National Centre for Diversity.
The award recognises organisations going above and beyond in their commitment to the FREDIE values of fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion and engagement.
The accolade recognises:
- Strong leadership regarding diversity and inclusion at all levels within the College.
- Training and development opportunities provided to staff to improve their understanding of diversity and inclusion.
- The position that the College has taken in the region in terms of being a role model and leader regarding diversity and inclusion.
James Smythe, vice principal of Student Experience, and the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead, The Sheffield College, said: “Working with the National Centre for Diversity and embedding FREDIE values across our college has supported us to improve rapidly and become a Leader in Diversity.”
He added: “We are pleased to have made significant positive changes and we will continue to work to improve diversity and inclusion across our organisation and support others to do the same.”
This latest achievement follows the College being ranked among the top 100 inclusive workplaces in the country, announced in May 2021.
