Equality Policy for Learners
The Training Unit of The Carers Association is committed to providing equal access to all Learners regardless of gender, marital status, family status, disability, religion, sexual orientation, race, colour, nationality or ethnic or national origin or membership of the Travelling Community.
We do have to maintain the integrity of FETAC Awards however so we will expect equivalent performance in assessments for equivalent academic awards from all Learners.
Learners are also expected to comply with our code of conduct, rules, regulations and policies stated in this Learner Handbook and to ensure that they must play a part in contributing to an environment of respect and equality.
We strive to provide tutors, learners and staff with an environment free from discrimination or harassment and to ensure that our policies, procedures, structures or services create no disadvantage or disincentive to any learner. We value and celebrate individual differences and want to ensure that every individual is treated equally.
Our training environment is a place where culture, experiences and differences are recognised, encouraged and supported. Classroom activities and instruction will encourage diversity. Teaching materials must not use discriminatory language. Wherever possible, tutors will reflect the diversity that exists in our country and should reflect caring within a multi-cultural society.
Regular feedback from Learners is welcomed and encouraged to ensure that the training meets their needs. If any Learner feels that they have not been treated equitably, they should contact the Training Unit immediately.
