Disability Statement

North Hertfordshire College welcomes every individual and aims to ensure that people with disabilities can participate fully and equally in all aspects of college life.

The College welcomes the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (as amended by the Special Educational Needs Act 2001) and actively seeks to respond flexibly to its current and prospective learners’ individual educational and training needs and requirements for specialist or modified facilities.

The College has clear obligations towards all its learners, visitors and employees to ensure that people with disabilities are afforded equal opportunities in respect of all college services and facilities.

The College will ensure that every reasonable effort is made to improve access for visitors and the general public to buildings, facilities and information.

In addition to complying with the requirements of current legislation relating to disability discrimination, the College will follow procedures designed to provide fair consideration and selection of disabled applicants and to satisfy their training and career development needs. When employees become disabled in the course of their employment reasonable steps will be taken to accommodate their disability by making adjustments to their existing employment or by redeployment to another post, with appropriate training to enable employees to remain in employment wherever possible.
