We are all different and unique and at The College we celebrate diversity and promote equality. We believe that everyone has the right to express their individuality and we strive to create an inclusive, accepting and tolerant community.
In this toolkit, you will find links to organisations that can support you and offer advice on coming to terms with your sexuality, understanding these feelings and coming out to others.
If you feel you have ever been a victim of discrimination, it is important to report this behaviour and not suffer alone.
