Merton College Single Equality Scheme
Merton College aims to provide an inclusive environment which promotes equality, values diversity, and maintains a working, learning and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all its Fellows, staff and students are respected to assist them in reaching their full potential. The College will work to remove any barriers which might deter people of the highest potential and ability from applying to study or work at Merton College.
Our aim is to embed equality in the culture and systems of the College by ensuring that policy making, service delivery and employment practice are all equality oriented.
The Single Equality Scheme, which supersedes previous Equal Opportunities Policies, sets out the specific objectives the College has set to promote equality, and reports progress against these objectives. It is published on the College website and is incorporated into the Staff Handbook; Fellows and Lecturers’ Handbook; and the College Handbook for Junior Members.
