The MHCPC is an organisation which values integrity, open mindedness and respect and which promotes equality of opportunity. The MHCPC is committed to providing equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination on grounds of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or age in its teaching and in providing therapeutic services. 

Diversity, equality of opportunity and inclusivity have long been fundamental concepts at the heart of the MHCPC where we aim to confront discrimination or disadvantage proactively to ensure that no individual or group is directly or indirectly discriminated against. All students, staff, volunteers and patients will be treated equally regarding diversity, inclusivity and equality in accordance with the Equality Act 2010, professional Codes of Practice and relevant best practice guidance.

The MHCPC is committed to actively addressing processes, attitudes or behaviours that underpin discrimination. The MHCPC recognises that we live and work in a society where discrimination is both manifest and hidden. The MHCPC welcomes the opportunity and accepts the responsibility to expose and oppose this in our teaching and clinical practice​; we will also remain committed to improve the accessibility of our services.

 

We will continue to monitor and review our systems, policies and services in our commitment to improving provision of effective strategies for addressing discrimination.
