RNC Equal Opportunities for all

Go Back

The Royal National College is committed to equality of opportunity and will not tolerate harassment or unfair discrimination on the grounds of sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion, age or any other irrelevant factor.

We respect the dignity and diversity of all our students and employees, regardless of personal characteristics and differences.

It is our aim to give everyone an equal chance to develop and fulfil his or her potential. We value the contribution each person can make to the College. We believe that treating people fairly is right and makes good business sense.

This means that the RNC will:

  • Provide appropriate, sensitive and accessible services to everyone.
  • Work with communities to eradicate prejudice, discrimination, harassment and negative stereotyping.
  • Support campaigns for fair laws which treat people equally and protect groups from discrimination.
  • Ensure that everybody who studies or works at the College is respected and valued.
  • Promote and support the use of a range of flexible working patterns to enable those working for us to balance home and work responsibilities.
  • Treat people fairly, irrespective of their working arrangements and develop staff and students so that they are able to reach their full potential.

Trevor Albutt - Devon
"I'm currently on a Music Technology course at RNC and am about to add an AS level in Media Studies to my programme. I'm interested in going on to University after RNC to pursue the more technical side of music. Eventually I would like a career in making music for film or commercial venues - an aquarium is currently considering one of my pieces at the moment. RNC has given me something I couldn't have experienced in mainstream education. The course has been hands on with brilliant equipment and it has helped knowing the lecturers were in the business, so know exactly what they're talking about!"
