Our vision in context:
Equal Opportunities
The Equality Act 2010 was introduced to ensure protection from discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the grounds of specific characteristics (referred to as protected characteristics). This means that schools cannot discriminate against pupils or treat them less favourably because of their sex (gender), race, disability, religion or belief, gender reassignment, sexual orientation or pregnancy or maternity.
The Act requires all schools to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty requires us a school to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- Advance equality of opportunity – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not foster good relations between different groups
- Consulting and involve those affected by inequality; in the decisions your school takes to promote equality and eliminate discrimination - affected people could include parents, pupils, staff and members of the local community
The act includes Two “specific duties” which requires us to:
- Publish information to show compliance with the Equality Duty
- Publish Equality Objectives at least every 4 years which are specific and measurable
We recognise that these duties reflect international human rights standards as expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, and the Human Rights Act 1998.
Our equalities policy and accessibility plan demonstrate these two specific duties.
