Equality Objectives
All schools, including academies, have both general and specific duties under the Equality Act, and in particular the Public Sector Equality Duty.
General duties:
Schools are required to have “due regard” to the need to:
Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other unlawful conduct prohibited by the act
Advance equality of opportunity between people who share and people who do not share a relevant protected characteristic
Foster good relations between people who share and people who do not share a relevant protected characteristic
Specific duties:
Publish information to demonstrate how they are complying with the PSED (updated at least annually)
Prepare and publish equality objectives (at least once every four years)
The report below is intended to:
Demonstrate how we meet the general duties
Fulfil our obligations under the specific duties
The report has been developed in line with the guidance in chapter 5 of The Equality Act 2010 and Schools (DFE 2014).
