Looking Ahead

This report cannot fully convey the breadth of ongoing Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) work at New College Lanarkshire (NCL). However, what it does do is provide a glimpse into the progress and showcases key accomplishments from the past 2 years. More importantly, it demonstrates our unequivocal commitment to challenging the most entrenched inequalities within society to ensure everyone at NCL can succeed regardless of their background or circumstances.

We acknowledge the challenges ahead for both the college and the sector as a whole, but we are firmly committed to strengthening our efforts to mainstreaming equality, achieve our equality outcomes, whilst also contributing to the progress of the national equality outcomes.

The development of Strategy 2030 is progressing well. This strategic framework will consolidate the college's achievements to date and set a clear direction by identifying key priorities and initiatives. Critically, Strategy 2030 will continue to underpin and strengthen our commitment to advancing equality, diversity and inclusion in all areas of our work.
