A COUNTY college has been listed as one of the best organisations in the UK for diversity.

Hereford Sixth Form College features at number 24 in the Top 100 Index, which highlights the best of the UK across 600 organisations.

The announcement came as the National Centre for Diversity hosted its first grand awards evening at the ICC Birmingham to celebrate commitment and shining examples of excellent work around equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The college's lead for equality and diversity, John Pratt, said: "At Hereford Sixth Form College, there’s a real buzz about the diversity of the college community and to be included in the National Centre for Diversity Top 100 list is a recognition of that. "Advancing equality and tackling discrimination in wider society is something students and staff take very seriously and it was a pleasure for us to work with the National Centre for Diversity recently to achieve our award of Investors in Diversity”.
