6 SPRING 2015 New VIEW for Ayrshire College “Fairness and equality is at the heart of all that we do at the College.” REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH CURRICULUM AREA HAVE SET UP ‘THE VIEW GROUP’, which helps to promote an ethos of Values, Inclusion, Equality and Well-being, so that all students have a fair chance of reaching their potential. Staff members and students at Ayrshire College were asked to sign the VIEW pledge at each of our three main campuses at the end of November. Ayrshire College is committed to celebrating equality and diversity and ensuring all students have a positive experience in College, and that everyone is treated equally, and with mutual trust and respect. The VIEW steering group helps contributes to removing barriers, encouraging further access to learning, promoting equality of opportunity and creating an environment that celebrates diversity and supports individual needs. Marla Baird, Equality and Inclusion Manager said “Fairness and equality is at the heart of all that we do at the College. The VIEW steering group will play an important role in challenging discrimination, advancing equality and promoting good relations between different groups.”
