麻豆传媒团队

As a diverse and inclusive college at the heart of our community, we represent all segments of society and play an important role in many peoples鈥� lives; whether we know someone who works or studies here, attend as student ourselves, or even get our hair cut or car serviced by alumni from 麻豆传媒团队.

With such a broad reach across our local area, it鈥檚 important for us to celebrate diversity and promote equality for students, staff and the wider community. To do this, we鈥檝e brought in some exciting initiatives to raise awareness and educate the next generation to be more accepting and inclusive.

Celebrating awareness days

By celebrating national holidays and annual awareness days, we鈥檙e building an inclusive culture and educating students and staff on poignant topics. Our events calendar covers a whole range of topics, promoting the Welsh language, National Inclusion Week, mental health, religious festivals, disabilities, LGBTQ+, women鈥檚 rights, and more, with training and other inclusive initiatives for students and staff.

Embracing Black History Month

In addition to being affiliated with the Black FE Leadership Group, we鈥檙e celebrating throughout October. With the core theme 鈥楾ime for Change: Action, Not Words鈥�, we have a range of talks and training on offer. We鈥檙e embracing the concept of change by supporting minority-owned businesses and ensuring that staff and learners feel that the college is forging positive relationships with more diverse communities.

Introducing Affinity Networks

To contribute towards driving change, we鈥檝e introduced staff Affinity Networks for under-represented and disadvantaged groups to address and solve problems. These include ENABLED (Enhancing Abilities and Leveraging Disabilities), Race Equality, LGBT+, Women Together, Men鈥檚 Alliance, Neurodivergent and Cynefin – Rhwydwaith Iaith Gymraeg.

Meanwhile, the Students Union also boasts some fantastic inclusive for learners, from Deaf Club to LGBTQ+ and Clwb Cymraeg. This allows learners to network and build support groups too.

Pledging to Zero Racism Wales

In line with Welsh Government鈥檚 Anti-Racist Wales action plan for further education colleges, we’ve pledged to deliver anti-racism training to all staff alongside joining the Race Council Cymru . The college is committed to promoting racial harmony and equity, with a zero-tolerance approach to racism.

Introducing pronoun pins

To support the LGBTQI+ community within our college, we created some handy pronoun pin badges which were made available to learners and staff at all campuses. This makes it easy for us all to show what our preferred pronouns are in an informal way, while showing our support and allyship to the LGBT community in addition to awareness days and staff training.

Driving the agenda

Our dedicated Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing Manager, Nkechi Allen Dawson, oversees our mission to become more inclusive and diverse. She鈥檚 working towards embedding 鈥榠nclusivity鈥� as one of our college鈥檚 values and believes this can only be achieved if we trust, value and respect each other and celebrate our diversity. So, with the support of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group 鈥� a collective of staff who champion equality, diversity and inclusion in the college – we鈥檙e supporting you to be authentic and true to yourself, helping you to unlock your full potential and be the best you can be.

We want to encourage everyone to get involved and be allies for change at 麻豆传媒团队, because equality, diversity and inclusion are not one person鈥檚 job, but a collective responsibility. Together, we can make our college a safe and inclusive space for all!
