Access

Bishopsgate Institute is committed to making its courses accessible and will make adjustments to meet the needs of individuals where possible. The library, Upper Hall, Great Hall and lower ground floor rooms are accessible for those with mobility difficulties. We regret that we are unable to offer full access to the Brushfield Wing or Boardroom Suite. Please call the Learning team on 020 7392 9200 or email enquiries@bishopsgate.org.uk if we can assist you in any way or to discuss any access requirements you may have. We may be able to relocate courses.

Health and safety

We take all matters of health and safety seriously. Every effort is made to make sure that all facilities and activities are safe. We will provide information about emergency procedures at the beginning of your first class.

Bishopsgate Institute is a safe space and we are committed to ensuring all students, staff, tutors and visitors are not harassed, harmed or abused. Any persons found to be abusing, injuring or harassing others will be asked to leave and not return. We will report the matter to City of London Police. If they have been enrolled on a course, their fees will not be refunded. If you have any concerns, including if you think you have been harmed or abused by another student, tutor or member of staff, please inform your tutor or a member of the Learning team.

Changing facilities

Changing rooms are located on the lower ground floor and include shower facilities and lockers. To ensure safety and security, you will need a code to enter the changing rooms. Please obtain this from the Box Office.

Compliments, comments and complaints procedures

We strive to provide you with a useful, interesting and enjoyable course, delivered by a suitably qualified tutor in a welcoming environment. If you feel that we have not fulfilled your expectations or that we have compromised our policies, please contact us.

We are keen to make improvements to future courses and would welcome and appreciate your input. At the end of each term you will have the opportunity to complete a Course Evaluation form. These forms remain anonymous and will be reviewed by the Learning team.

Equal opportunities policy

We are committed to equal opportunities, we believe that all people should receive fair treatment and we oppose all forms of discrimination. If you have any complaint regarding discriminatory behaviour, please contact us.
