Foreword from the Acting Principal Glasgow Clyde College contributes to the prosperity and wellbeing of Scotland through exceptional achievement. Our staff are inspiring people who put students first and help them realise their potential. Throughout the organisation we have a shared commitment to provide an inclusive ethos and environment, valuing and respecting diversity and ensuring equality of opportunity for all in every aspect of our services. We work in partnership with staff, students, employers and agencies to identify and break down barriers to opportunity, learning and attainment in order to empower our learners to improve their life chances. By challenging stereotypes we have successfully fostered good relations between those who share a protected characteristic and those who do not and have advanced the mainstreaming of equality, diversity and inclusion within College practices and procedures. Glasgow Clyde College has made significant progress in achieving our College Equality Outcomes and we have been working with our sister colleges within Glasgow Region towards shared Equality Outcome Themes. We are confident that our vision for equality, diversity and inclusion will support us to deliver the requirements of the Equality Duty while acknowledging that we still have work to do. Thank you for taking the time to reflect upon the contents of this report. My staff and I will continue to work to create a culture where everybody feels able to be themselves in an environment that is welcoming, safe and respectful. Brian Hughes Acting Principal Glasgow Clyde College 2 GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE SEEING POTENTIAL • FINDING SOLUTIONS • ACHIEVING MORE Introduction GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE SEEING POTENTIAL • FINDING SOLUTIONS • ACHIEVING MORE Equality Mainstream Report 2017 2. Introduction In Scotland, there is a specific duty for institutions to mainstream equality across their functions. Mainstreaming is an effective way to ensure that the whole institution is delivering on its public sector equality duty. To meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, this Equality Mainstreaming Report will detail how the College is collecting and analysing data, for staff and students, in order to better perform the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED). “Mainstreaming sets out to integrate consideration of equality into a college or HEI’s functions so that it is a routine part of its day-to-day workings. It means ensuring that equality sits at the heart of a college or HEI’s mission, strategy and operational delivery in order to create both a structure and a culture that embraces and advances equality and diversity.” Equality Challenge Unit (http://www.ecu.ac.uk/) GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE SEEING POTENTIAL • FINDING SOLUTIONS • ACHIEVING MORE Equality Mainstream Report 2017 Glasgow Clyde College is a multi-campus college with three sites in Anniesland, Cardonald and Langside. One of Scotland’s largest further education institutions, the College was formed in August 2013 following the merger of Anniesland, Cardonald and Langside Colleges. Since merger in 2013, Glasgow Clyde College has established itself as not only a welcoming, ambitious and innovative place to study but also as an employer of choice having been named Employer of the Year at the 2016 Glasgow Awards. Glasgow Clyde College is an equal opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status or pregnancy and maternity. We currently employ 1010 staff across our three campuses and are committed to continuing to develop a workforce which reflects the communities we serve across Glasgow. We promote an environment free from discrimination, harassment and victimisation and work hard to ensure everyone is offered equality of opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our College is built upon a passion for learning and teaching, a flexible approach in all that we do and employees who work together to put our students first.

GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE SEEING POTENTIAL • FINDING SOLUTIONS • ACHIEVING MORE Summary GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE SEEING POTENTIAL • FINDING SOLUTIONS • ACHIEVING MORE Equality Mainstream Report 2017 3. Summary Significant cultural change is required in order to achieve mainstreaming of equality and diversity. We acknowledge that there is no single way of creating change and have adopted the following approaches to facilitate cultural change across our institution. • We have adopted a holistic approach rather than considering aspects of our delivery in isolation. (Evidence provided in section 5 of this report) • In recognition that change is required at both institutional and individual levels, we are addressing policies and processes to ensure support at all levels while working with individuals to promote positive attitudes and changes in practice. (Evidence provided in section 5 of this report) • Changes have been made to facilitate the development of different approaches within the same operational framework. See Appendix B • We acknowledge that an essential platform for mainstreaming work is a robust evidence base, drawing on both internal and external research and data. It is our intention to improve data capture and related analysis. (Evidence provided in section 5 of this report) • We employ a range of appropriate tools and strategies simultaneously. • There is support from the College Board and Senior Management within our institution which has focused the impetus for change and continues to drive its implementation. tion GLASGOW CLYDE COLLEGE SEEING POTENTIAL • FINDING SOLUTIONS • ACHIEVING MORE Equality Mainstream Report 2017 The Equality Act 2010 statutory specific duties in Scotland require the College to take steps to gather and report on staff equalities data. Furthermore, consideration of evidence relating to protected characteristics is a requirement of other specific duties. Subsequently, staff equalities information informs the College’s approach to preparing and publishing its Equality Outcomes. A new Organisational Development System iTrent, has been introduced and this system has many benefits and supports us to collect staff data. We acknowledge, however, that we do not have full information across the 9 protected characteristics in relation to the composition, recruitment, development and retention of staff. Despite these data gaps, attempts have been made to reflect upon the composition, recruitment, development and retention of staff across underrepresented groups. Approaches

  • Background to Rationalisation of Further Education in Scotland As a Response to the Economic Downturn, the Scottish Government H
    Item 3 16 June 2014 Background to rationalisation of Further Education in Scotland As a response to the economic downturn, the Scottish Government has undertaken a rationalisation of Scotland’s further education sector, reducing 43 colleges to 13 regional structures, some of which contain more than one college – known as multi- college regions. The aim is to reduce duplication of provision, ensuring that programmes of learning are tailored to match the needs of local employers and contribute to the growth of the Scottish economy. The Scottish Government wants a strong regional grouping of colleges who act strategically to improve the skills in their area and across Scotland as a whole. It is expected that regional colleges will identify the needs of learners and employers in their region. Colleges will plan provision with partners and allocate resources across their region for the delivery of high quality learning. Colleges have to ensure that there is a reasonable range of provision available locally to all communities across their region The Outcome of Rationalisation: Glasgow multi-college region Glasgow has been deemed a multi-college region where, seven colleges have been reduced to three through the process of merger. Glasgow Clyde College: established in August 2013 through the merger of three colleges: Anniesland College, Cardonald College and Langside College Glasgow Kelvin College.: established in November 2013 through the merger of three colleges: John Wheatley College, North Glasgow College and Stow College The City of Glasgow College is the third college in the Glasgow Region Regional Strategic Board In August 2014, a new legally constituted Regional Strategic Board will take responsibility for college delivery in Glasgow.
