Stonewall's Top 100 Employers

The Top 100 Employers list is compiled from Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index, an annual benchmark tool for inclusivity of LGBT+ staff, which is regarded as the UK's definitive list of its kind.

Coleg y Cymoedd has been named as one of the most inclusive employers in Britain by LGBT+ charity Stonewall, making it into the top 100 for the first time.

Coleg y Cymoedd has taken 79th place on the Top 100 Employers list, which was announced during LGBT+ History Month (February 2020), and is the only further education college in the UK to be included.

Karen Phillips, Principal at Coleg y Cymoedd said: "As employers and educators, it is essential that we do all we can to ensure that our campuses are welcoming and supportive environments for all staff and learners. We are grateful to Stonewall for recognising the inclusive community we have created across all of our campuses. Most of all, wed like to thank everyone who has supported our ongoing commitment to LGBT+ equality.
