Equality & Diversity Data collection and Monitoring
Monitoring ethnicity, gender, and disability, is now commonplace in educational establishments' delivery.  Indeed such monitoring has become the mainstay of modern equality policies, with all the Equality Commissions recommending this in their Codes of Practice as a vital tool for equity in employment and service delivery.

In order to meet Equality & Diversity legislation, Furness College has:

• developed information and monitoring systems which allow progress to be assessed in achieving targets
• measured progress against targets
• produced monitoring reports at specified intervals which are circulated to designated committees, Principalship and governors
