We expect commitment and involvement from all our staff, students, partners and providers of goods and services in working towards the achievement of our vision. We will not allow these differences to be manifested in a way that is hostile or degrading to others. We respect the rights of individuals, including the right to hold different views and beliefs. We recognise that patterns of under-representation and differences in outcomes at The Open University can be challenged through positive action programmes. We believe that discrimination or exclusion based on individual characteristics and circumstances, such as age disability caring or dependency responsibilities gender or gender identity marriage and civil partnership status political opinion pregnancy and maternity race, colour, caste, nationality, ethnic or national origin religion or belief sex sexual orientation socio-economic background trade union membership status or other distinctions, represents a waste of talent and a denial of opportunity for self-fulfilment. We value diversity and we recognise that different people bring different perspectives, ideas, knowledge and culture, and that this difference brings great strength. 
We anticipate, and respond positively to, different needs and circumstances so that everyone can achieve their potential.People are treated with dignity and respect.
We are creating an inclusive university community and a society where
