Supporting Diversity and Inclusion

At Coleg Gwent, everyone belongs. We’re proud to be a welcoming, inclusive college where you can be yourself, feel safe, and be respected – whoever you are. 

We’re committed to creating a positive, open-minded environment where learners and staff from all backgrounds can thrive.

Our commitment to inclusion

  • We champion diversity and make sure everyone can be themselves at college.
  • Our campuses are spaces where kindness, fairness and understanding are at the heart of everything we do.
  • Diversity enriches our college community and allows fresh ideas and new and innovative ways of thinking.
  • We’re constantly working to break down barriers and build a community that reflects the world around us.

We believe we must send a message of support to our colleagues and learners in ethnic minority communities and we must continue to strive to make our college welcoming to all, irrespective of their backgrounds.
