St Cuthbert's Society

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Gateway

St Cuthbert's Society seeks to provide a respectful and inclusive environment where all staff and students can thrive.

We strongly believe that people are happier, enjoy their work more and perform better in a place where: 

• everyone respects and understands the value of different people working together 
• everyone is treated fairly 
• negative behaviours and attitudes such as prejudice, discrimination and harassment are unacceptable, and people feel supported to challenge these.  

Making Cuth's a truly inclusive place requires ongoing commitment from all members of our community. 

EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) ensures fair treatment and opportunity for all.  It aims to eradicate prejudice and discrimination on the basis of an individual or group of individual's protected characteristics.

The following are the legal protected characteristics, under The Equality Act 2010:

• Age
• Disability
• Gender reassignment
• Marriage and civil partnership
• Pregnancy and maternity
• Race
• Religion or belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation

Discrimination on the grounds of any of these characteristics is illegal. Discrimination can take many forms including direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, bullying, harassment and victimisation.
