Our Culture

AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion are at the heart of what we do at BMet. We are passionate about offering inclusive working and learning environments where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and is able to participate, progress and thrive at, and beyond, college.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

EQUITY

We all start from different places and may have different needs. Equity goes beyond equality by making sure everyone has the right support to succeed. At BMet, Equality Monitoring helps us understand and respond to the needs of our students and staff.

DIVERSITY

Celebrating differences is central to who we are – from backgrounds and experiences to ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, age, and abilities. Diversity strengthens relationships and builds a more collaborative, vibrant community.

INCLUSION

Everyone should be able to take part fully in college life and feel valued for who they are. BMet is committed to providing accessible environments so all students and staff can enjoy and benefit from everything the college offers.

OUR COMMITMENT

We are dedicated to eliminating hate, harassment, bullying, and intimidating behaviour, including:

Homophobia, biphobia, transphobia
Sexual harassment
Disablism
Racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and other religious hatred

Allegations are taken extremely seriously, and disciplinary action will follow any substantiated claims. We also use education, training, workshops, and awareness-raising activities to build skills in diversity and inclusion.

We are actively working to be an anti-racist college. You can find out more about anti-racism here.

The college has also adopted the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of anti-Semitism. See all definitions here.
