Welcome to the Equality Webpages
University College Cork is an equal opportunities employer actively working towards full equality of opportunity in all aspects of University life. UCC is committed to tackling all forms of discrimination, bullying and harassment that may impede someone’s progress to reaching their full potential.
The Equality Employment Acts 1998 - 2007 and the Equal Status Acts 2000 - 2004 underpin the equality programme in UCC by prohibiting discrimination in employment, in access to employment and in access to goods and services under the following nine grounds:
- Gender
- Civil Status
- Family Status
- Sexual Orientation
- Religion
- Age
- Disability
- Race
- Membership of the Traveller Community
This website has been developed as a resource for staff looking for information on equality. Information has been divided into UCC’s activities in this area, equality legislation, specific grounds of discrimination, bullying, harassment and sexual harassment and best practice measures for encouraging and maintaining equality in the workplace.
