London Teacher Training College  is committed to the principles of Equal and Diversity.

The Equality Act 2010 underpins our policies.

This also includes cyber-harassment or cyber-bullying. Any issues must be reported to the Centre Manager.

Discrimination

 

Discrimination is when people are treated less favourably than others because of a protected characteristic they have or are thought to have. This includes discrimination on the grounds of their gender, race, ethnic origin, religious beliefs, age, marital status, stage of development, ability or disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment and wealth or background.

There are four types of discrimination; Direct discrimination, Discrimination by association, Perception discrimination and Indirect discrimination.

Racial Harassment

 

Racial harassment is any action of a racist nature that results in people feeling threatened or compromised. It can include:

  • racial name calling
  • derogatory remarks
  • racist graffiti or jokes
  • display or circulation of racially offensive material
  • physical threats, insulting behaviour or gestures
  • open hostility
  • exclusion from normal conversation or social events.

 

Sexual harassment

 

Sexual harassment is unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that affects the dignity of women and men at work, including physical, verbal or nonverbal conduct. It can be in the form of:

  • insensitive jokes or pranks
  • lewd comments about appearance
  • unnecessary bodily contact
  • displays of explicit materials
  • gestures and leering
  • speculation about a person’s private or personal life

 

Bullying

 

Bullying is a form of harassment, whether by staff or other learners. Bullying is verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct that causes individuals to feel threatened, isolated or humiliated – and may include members of a group other than those being directly targeted. Bullying can take many forms and can be quite difficult to detect by those not directly involved; all learners and staff are asked to report bullying at the earliest stages, so that it can be stopped, your confidentiality will always be respected.

The law recognises bullying as a serious issue and the protection from Equality Act 2010 makes it a criminal and civil offence to cause harassment, alarm or distress to a person.

 

Victimisation

 

Victimisation is when a person is treated less favourably in the same circumstances because that person has, in good faith, made a complaint or raised a grievance under the Equality Act, or because they are suspected of doing so.

 

Vulnerable Adults

 

A vulnerable adult is a person aged 18 years or over who may be unable to take care of themselves or protect themselves from harm or from being exploited.

Abuse can take a number of forms and cause victims to suffer pain, fear and distress. Adults may be too afraid or embarrassed to raise any complaints. They may be reluctant to discuss their concerns with other people or unsure who to trust with their worries. Sometimes people can be unaware they are being abused.

London Teacher Training College  staff have a responsibility to follow this policy and report any suspicions that may arise.

Protection of Children Policy.

The policy of safeguarding a child is to protect any person under the age of 18 years and those whom are considered vulnerable. The Children Act 1989 provides the legal framework for the protection of children and young people in the UK. London Teacher Training College  is committed to the safeguarding of children and our staff have a responsibility to follow this policy and report any suspicions that may arise. Both the safeguarding policies above also include the protection of our staff from unfounded allegations of abuse.

Bullying

 

Bullying is a form of harassment, whether by staff or other learners. Bullying is verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct that causes individuals to feel threatened, isolated or humiliated – and may include members of a group other than those being directly targeted. Bullying can take many forms and can be quite difficult to detect by those not directly involved; all learners and staff are asked to report bullying at the earliest stages, so that it can be stopped, your confidentiality will always be respected.

The law recognises bullying as a serious issue and the protection from Equality Act 2010 makes it a criminal and civil offence to cause harassment, alarm or distress to a person.

 

Victimisation

 

Victimisation is when a person is treated less favourably in the same circumstances because that person has, in good faith, made a complaint or raised a grievance under the Equality Act, or because they are suspected of doing so.

 

Vulnerable Adults

 

A vulnerable adult is a person aged 18 years or over who may be unable to take care of themselves or protect themselves from harm or from being exploited.

Abuse can take a number of forms and cause victims to suffer pain, fear and distress. Adults may be too afraid or embarrassed to raise any complaints. They may be reluctant to discuss their concerns with other people or unsure who to trust with their worries. Sometimes people can be unaware they are being abused.

London Teacher Training College  staff have a responsibility to follow this policy and report any suspicions that may arise.

Protection of Children Policy.

The policy of safeguarding a child is to protect any person under the age of 18 years and those whom are considered vulnerable. The Children Act 1989 provides the legal framework for the protection of children and young people in the UK. London Teacher Training College  is committed to the safeguarding of children and our staff have a responsibility to follow this policy and report any suspicions that may arise. Both the safeguarding policies above also include the protection of our staff from unfounded allegations of abuse.

Policy Statement

This policy provided for London Teacher Training College centre staff and learners to ensure they deal with all reasonable adjustment and special consideration requests in a consistent manner.

 

Statement of Principles

London Teacher Training College  is committed to complying with all current and relevant legislation in relation to the development and delivery of qualifications.   We are committed to ensuring that all learners have fair and equal access to assessment where possible and practicable.

A reasonable adjustment may be required where a learner has a permanent disability or specific learning needs

A special consideration may be required where a learner has a temporary disability, medical condition or learning needs or is indisposed at the time of the assessment.

 

 

Definition of Reasonable Adjustments

A reasonable adjustment is any action that helps to reduce the effect of a disability or difficulty that places the learner at a substantial disadvantage during an assessment.

Reasonable adjustments may involve:

  • changing usual assessment arrangements, for example allowing a learner extra time to complete the assessment activity
  • adapting assessment materials, such as providing materials in Braille
  • providing assistance during assessment, such as a sign language interpreter or a reader
  • re-organising the assessment room, such as removing visual stimuli for an autistic learner
  • providing and allowing different coloured transparencies

Reasonable adjustments are approved or set in place by TQUK before the assessment activity takes place; they constitute an arrangement to give the learner access to the assessment.

 

Requesting Reasonable Adjustments

 

Learners must make relevant London Teacher Training College staff members aware of any reasonable adjustments they require. London Teacher Training College staff members are responsible for applying to  TQUK for reasonable adjustment request (when appropriate). All requests must be made following TQUK’s procedures, 7 days in advance of an assessment being undertaken, as outlined in TQUK’s Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations Policy.

Definition of Special Considerations

 

Special consideration can be applied after an assessment, if there was a reason the learner may have been disadvantaged during the assessment. Any requests to TQUK for Special Considerations, must be made by a relevant London Teacher Training College staff member within 5 days of the assessment taking place, as outlined in TQUK’s Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations Policy.

For example, special consideration could apply to a learner who had temporarily experienced:-

  • an illness or injury
  • some other event outside of their control

Special consideration, if successful, may result in a small post-assessment adjustment to the mark of the learner.  The size of the adjustment will depend on the circumstances and reflect the difficulty faced by the learner.

All documents relating to reasonable adjustments and special considerations must be saved and stored securely in the centre. TQUK must be given access to any information or documents regarding any appeals, when requested.

Any requests to TQUK for Special Considerations, must be made by a relevant London Teacher Training College staff member within 5 days of the assessment taking place, as outlined in TQUK’s Reasonable Adjustments and Special Considerations Policy.

For example, special consideration could apply to a learner who had temporarily experienced:-

For example, the GDPR requires that: We must ensure that our college privacy notices are written in a clear, plain way that staff and students will understand. LTTC needs to process certain information about its staff, students and other individuals with whom it has a relationship for various purposes such as, but not limited to:

  1. The recruitment and payment of staff.
  2. The administration of programmes of study and courses.
  3. Student enrolment.
  4. Examinations and external accreditation.
  5. Recording student progress, attendance and conduct.
  6. Collecting fees.

To comply with various legal obligations, including the obligations imposed on it by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) LTTC must ensure that all this information about individuals is collected and used fairly, stored safely and securely, and not disclosed to any third party unlawfully.

Compliance

This policy applies to all staff and students of LTTC. Any breach of this policy or of the Regulation itself will be considered an offence and the College’s disciplinary procedures will be invoked. As a matter of best practice, other agencies and individuals working with LTTC and who have access to personal information, will be expected to read and comply with this policy. It is expected that departments who are responsible for dealing with external bodies will take the responsibility for ensuring that such bodies sign a contract which among other things will include an agreement to abide by this policy. This policy will be updated as necessary to reflect best practice in data management, security and control and to ensure compliance with any changes or amendments to the GDPR and other relevant legislation. The Code of Practice on GDPR for LTTC gives further detailed guidance and LTTC undertakes to adopt and comply with this Code of Practice

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

This piece of legislation comes in to force on the 25 th May 2018. The GDPR regulates the processing of personal data, and protects the rights and privacy of all living individuals (including children), for example by giving all individuals who are the subject of personal data a general right of access to the personal data which relates to them. Individuals can exercise the right to gain access to their information by means of a ‘subject access request’. Personal data is information relating to an individual and may be in hard or soft copy (paper/manual files; electronic records; photographs), and may include facts or opinions about a person. For more detailed information on these Regulations see the Data Protection Data Sharing Code of Practice (DPCoP) from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Please follow this link to the ICO’s website (www.ico.gov.uk)

Responsibilities under the GDPR

LTTC will be the ‘data controller’ under the terms of the legislation – this means it is ultimately responsible for controlling the use and processing of the personal data. The college appoints a Data Protection Officer (DPO), currently the Principal who is available to address any concerns regarding the data held by college and how it is processed, held and used. LTTC also has a nominated information technical officer who oversees this policy. The Senior Leadership Team is responsible for all day-to-day data protection matters, and will be responsible for ensuring that all members of staff and relevant individuals abide by this policy, and for developing and encouraging good information handling within the college. The Senior Leadership Team is also responsible for ensuring that the college’s notification is kept accurate. Individuals who provide personal data to the College are responsible for ensuring that the information is accurate and up-to-date.

Data Protection Principles

The legislation places a responsibility on every data controller to process any personal data in accordance with the eight principles. Please follow this link to the ICO’s website (www.ico.gov.uk)

In order to comply with its obligations, LTTC undertakes to adhere to the eight principles:

1) Process personal data fairly and lawfully. LTTC will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that individuals who are the focus of the personal data (data subjects) are informed of the identity of the data controller, the purposes of the processing, any disclosures to third parties that are envisaged; given an indication of the period for which the data will be kept, and any other information which may be relevant. For example,

2) Process the data for the specific and lawful purpose for which it collected that data and not further process the data in a manner incompatible with this purpose. LTTC will ensure that the reason for which it collected the data originally is the only reason for which it processes those data, unless the individual is informed of any additional processing before it takes place.

3) Ensure that the data is adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose for which it is processed. LTTC will not seek to collect any personal data which is not strictly necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained. Forms for collecting data will always be drafted with this mind. If any irrelevant data are given by individuals, they will be destroyed immediately.

4) Keep personal data accurate and, where necessary, up to date. LTTC will review and update all data on a regular basis. It is the responsibility of the individuals giving their personal data to ensure that this is accurate, and each individual should notify the College if, for example, a change in circumstances mean that the data needs to be updated. It is the responsibility of the College to ensure that any notification regarding the change is noted and acted on.

5) Only keep personal data for as long as is necessary. LTTC undertakes not to retain personal data for longer than is necessary to ensure compliance with the legislation, and any other statutory requirements. This means LTTC will undertake a regular review of the information held and implement a weeding process. LTTC will dispose of any personal data in a way that protects the rights and privacy of the individual concerned (e.g. secure electronic deletion, shredding and disposal of hard copy files as confidential waste). A log will be kept of the records destroyed.

6) Process personal data in accordance with the rights of the data subject under the legislation. Individuals have various rights under the legislation including a right to:

  • be told the nature of the information the College holds and any parties to whom this may be disclosed.
  • prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress.
  • prevent processing for purposes of direct marketing.
  • be informed about the mechanics of any automated decision taking process that will significantly affect them.
  • not have significant decisions that will affect them taken solely by automated process.
  • sue for compensation if they suffer damage by any contravention of the legislation.
  • take action to rectify, block, erase or destroy inaccurate data.
  • request that the Office of the Information Commissioner assess whether any provision of the Act has been contravened.

LTTC will only process personal data in accordance with individuals’ rights.

7) Put appropriate technical and organisational measures in place against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data, and against accidental loss or destruction of data. All members of staff are responsible for ensuring that any personal data which they hold is kept securely and not disclosed to any unauthorised third parties. LTTC will ensure that all personal data is accessible only to those who have a valid reason for using it. LTTC will have in place appropriate security measures e.g. ensuring that hard copy personal data is kept in lockable filing cabinets/cupboards with controlled access (with the keys then held securely in a key cabinet with controlled access):

  • keeping all personal data in a lockable cabinet with key-controlled access.
  • password protecting personal data held electronically.
  • archiving personal data which are then kept securely (lockable cabinet).
  • placing any PCs or terminals, CCTV camera screens etc. that show personal data so that they are not visible except to authorised staff.
  • ensuring that PC screens are not left unattended without a password protected screen-saver being used.

In addition, LTTC will put in place appropriate measures for the deletion of personal data - manual records will be shredded or disposed of as ‘confidential waste’ and appropriate contract terms will be put in place with any third parties undertaking this work. Hard drives of redundant PCs will be wiped clean before disposal or if that is not possible, destroyed physically. A log will be kept of the records destroyed. This policy also applies to staff and students who process personal data ‘off-site’, e.g. when working at home, and in circumstances additional care must be taken regarding the security of the data. 8) Ensure that no personal data is transferred to a country or a territory outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless that country or territory ensures adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data. LTTC will not transfer data to such territories without the explicit consent of the individual. This also applies to publishing information on the Internet - because transfer of data can include placing data on a website that can be accessed from outside the EEA - so LTTC will always seek the consent of individuals before placing any personal data (including photographs) on its website. If the College collects personal data in any form via its website, it will provide a clear and detailed privacy statement prominently on the website, and wherever else personal data is collected.

Consent as a basis for processing

Although it is not always necessary to gain consent from individuals before processing their data, it is often the best way to ensure that data is collected and processed in an open and transparent manner. Consent is especially important when LTTC is processing any sensitive data, as defined by the legislation. LTTC understands consent to mean that the individual has been fully informed of the intended processing and has signified their agreement (e.g. via the enrolment form) whilst being of a sound mind and without having any undue influence exerted upon them. Consent obtained on the basis of misleading information will not be a valid basis for processing. Consent cannot be inferred from the non-response to a communication.

Personal Details

  • For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 you consent to the College holding and processing personal data including sensitive personal data of which you are the subject, details of which are specified in the College's data protection policy.
  • This will include marketing images. LTTC will ensure that any forms used to gather data on an individual will contain a statement (fair collection statement) explaining the use of that data, how the data may be disclosed and also indicate whether or not the individual needs to consent to the processing.

It is the policy of LTTC to ensure that senders and recipients of email are made aware that under the DPA, and Freedom of Information Legislation, the contents of email may have to be disclosed in response to a request for information. One means by which this will be communicated will be by a disclaimer on the College’s email.

Procedure for review

This policy will be updated as necessary to reflect best practice or future amendments made to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) May 2018 and Data Protection Act 1998. Please follow this link to the ICO’s website (www.ico.gov.uk) which provides further detailed guidance on a range of topics including individuals’ rights, exemptions from the Act, dealing with subject access requests, how to handle requests from third parties for personal data to be disclosed etc. In particular, you may find it helpful to read the Guide to Data Protection which is available from the website. For help or advice on any data protection or freedom of information issues, please do not hesitate to contact:The Data Protection Officer (DPO): Phyllis Vannuffel, Principal.
