Equality & Diversity Policy Statement
WingsWay Training Institute is committed to ensuring:
- All academic, teaching and administration staff express our strong commitment to its full and active
implementation. - That We will not tolerate attitudes and behavior that amounts to direct discrimination, associative discrimination,
including harassment or victimization and bullying through prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and stereotyping. - That success depends on creating a teaching and learning environment which supports the diverse make-up of its staff
and students. - That non-compliance of the Policy will not be tolerated by staff or students. Any such breaches will be regarded as
misconduct. - Serious offences including harassment, bullying, or victimization will be treated as gross misconduct and may lead

Forms of Discrimination
- Discrimination may be due to relevant protected characteristics which may include age, disability, gender
reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and
maternity. - Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated less favorably than another person because of a
protected characteristic. - Associative discrimination occurs when someone is discriminated against because they associate with
another person who possesses a protected characteristic. - Discrimination by perception occurs when someone discriminates against an individual because they
think they possess a particular protected characteristic. It applies even if the person does not actually
possess that characteristic. - Indirect discrimination occurs when a seemingly neutral provision, criterion or practice that applies to
everyone places a group who share a characteristic at a particular disadvantage. Indirect discrimination
may be justified if it can be shown that the provision, criterion or practice is a proportionate means of
achieving a legitimate aim. - Victimisation occurs when a student is treated unfavorably, disadvantaged or subjected to a detriment
because they have made or supported a complaint of discrimination or raised a grievance.
