Our policies and standards

Kingston Adult Education values its staff, learners and partners equally and seeks to promote equality of opportunity for all members of the community. KAE recognises that every individual has protected characteristics and we work to meet the needs of all.   We are committed to providing courses that reflect the needs of the diverse community we serve irrespective of race, disability, sex, gender reassignment, age, nationality, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or socioeconomic status, background or class.  We take pride in providing a learning environment that promotes equality of opportunity and ask you to report any incident you consider inappropriate. 

We will continue to tackle discrimination by:

• providing an accessible curriculum and creating an inclusive learning environment
• displaying positive images that reflect the diversity of our community in our marketing, promotional and teaching materials
• denouncing patronising, discriminatory or negative attitudes
• challenging any and all instances of harassment and direct or indirect discrimination
• making our environment as safe and accessible as possible
• requiring good practice from our partners
