Plagiarism Plagiarism is defined as submitting as your own work something which is in part or completely from someone else’s work, without acknowledging the source. If you use someone else’s work as part of your own, you must make that clear. Your tutor can help you with this. Learners discovered cheating may, as a result, face a partial or total ban from all qualifications with that awarding body. If you are in any doubt about this, please ask for help from your tutor. Health and Safety We are committed to providing a safe and healthy learning environment at all times. For any concerns, please contact Sabrina Lindo / sabrina.lindo@free2learn.org.uk Equality and Diversity Equality and Diversity, sometimes called multiculturalism, is the concept of accepting and promoting people’s differences. The fundamental goal when promoting equality is to raise awareness and make sure that all individuals are treated equally and fairly. This is regardless of age, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or race. We are committed to ensuring that we provide equal opportunities and support to everyone regardless of circumstance, belief or background, and expect our learners to adhere to the same fundamental principles of equality and diversity. British Values The fundamental British values are: Democracy: The Rule of Law: Individual Liberty: Mutual Respect: Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith. We promote these values to our learners and they are embedded into learners work across the qualification areas. Embedding British values is monitored during all observations of teaching and learning. Our Teaching and Learning team provide training to staff on ways to embed British values. For any concerns, please contact Tarric Lewis / tarric.lewis@free2learn.org.uk Complaints Procedure We hope that you will enjoy your time with us, however, if at any time you have a grievance relating to your training then please address the issue with one of the staff listed on the first page of this induction pack.
