Recent UK events – College statement
As Scotland’s Capital City College, we are proud to welcome large numbers of students and staff from across the world who learn and work with us all-year-round. We are committed to a culture that respects difference and pride ourselves on providing an inclusive environment, where everyone feels welcome, safe, supported and respected.
Edinburgh College is concerned by the recent violent disorder taking place across other parts of the UK and want to assure all members of our community that we will not tolerate any forms of discrimination, incitement, bullying or harassment.
If you are worried or are feeling anxious about these events, there is support available to you – both through the college and through external organisations, details of which are listed below.
Please note, our process for reporting incidents of harassment, bullying and discrimination is open to all visitors, applicants and community members, as well as our staff and student body.
