At EOTAS, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are central to ensuring that ‘every student has the support they need to thrive and achieve’. We are committed to creating a diverse workforce that is representative of the communities we support, and an inclusive culture where all our staff can thrive and reach their full potential. 

EOTAS are committed to equality in both employment and education provision. We aim to ensure that students, parents, governors, trustees, employees, contractors, partners, clients and those who may potentially join our community, are treated fairly, and with dignity and respect.
