We embed EDIB principles into everything we do, from our products and services to our student assessments and our working environment and culture. We believe that creating a wider, more engaging curriculum, improves the teaching experience and delivers assessments that support students to demonstrate their full potential.
For those that work with us, we want to create a working environment that promotes diverse views and allows people to challenge themselves so that they feel confident to perform at their best.
Everyone at OCR is responsible to help drive and promote equality, diversity and inclusion. We understand that as an organisation and individuals, we need to be flexible and open-minded in our working practices.
Our EDIB principles are that we:
- are respectful and considerate
- celebrate differences and promote positive attitudes to belonging
- include perspectives that reflect the diverse cultural and lifestyle backgrounds of our society
- challenge prejudicial views and unconscious biases
- promote a safe and supportive approach to learning
- are accessible and fair, creating positive experiences for all
- provide opportunities for everyone to perform at their best
- are contemporary, relevant and equip everyone to live and thrive in a global, diverse world
- create a shared sense of identity in a modern mixed society with one humanity
Our approach will be reviewed regularly so that we continue to focus on the right areas.
