British Values are very important to us here at HSDC. We are dedicated to promoting them within our College communities in order to establish a strong sense of social and moral responsibility.
We see British Values as underpinning what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Britain. They allow us to create environments free from discrimination, intolerance and hate. They help us to challenge prejudice and stereotyping, whilst strengthening relationships within the community.
As well as actively promoting these values to our students, we also work hard to embed them into student work across all curriculum areas. This ensures our students understand the importance of respect, so they can leave the College fully prepared to live and work in modern Britain as responsible citizens.
British Values are defined as the following:
Democracy A culture built upon freedom and equality, where everyone is aware of their rights and responsibilities.
The rule of law The need for rules to make a happy, safe and secure environment to live and work.
Individual liberty Protection of your rights and the rights of others around you.
Mutual respect & tolerance of different faiths and beliefs Understanding that we all don’t share the same beliefs and values. Respecting those values, ideas and beliefs of others whilst not imposing our own onto them.

Fundamental British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain valuing our community and celebrating diversity of the UK. These values are Democracy, Rule of Law, Respect and Tolerance, Individual Liberty.
Fundamental British Values are not exclusive to being British and are shared by other democratic countries as a way of creating an orderly society, where individual members can feel safe, valued and can contribute for the good of themselves and others.
Thumb – democracy – up or down to give opinion. Middle finger – Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs – tallest finger pointing to God. Little finger – Individual Liberty – sticks out on its own.
These values – such as regard for the rule of law, participation in and acceptance of democracy, equality, free speech and respect for minorities – are supported by the overwhelming majority of British people.
In order to create a professional environment that embraces the fundamental British values of the rule of law, it is essential to ensure fairness, justice, and accountability within your workplace. Treat all employees equally and ensure that policies and procedures are consistently enforced.
