Ayrshire College is fully committed to
challenging discrimination, advancing
equality of opportunity, promoting inclusion
and celebrating the diversity of all of its Final Concept
stakeholders. Since formation as a regional
College in August 2013, tackling inequalities
and improving life chances in the communities
the College serves have remained key priorities.
The College values and supports strong
partnership working across Ayrshire and
understands the importance of this approach in
supporting ambitious priorities for the region.
The College is now in the next stage of its
development with a new Strategic Plan 2017-
2020, Regional Outcome Agreement 2017-2020
and Equality Outcomes 2017-2021. During the
life-course of each of these key frameworks,
a series of supporting strategic aims such as
a revised Gender action plan and Corporate
Parenting Plan will also be developed and
implemented. The College’s strategic approach
and governance arrangements are instrumental
in order to continue to mainstream and embed
equality successfully across all functions,
processes and activities.
