What is Equality?
Equality is the principle of equal opportunity for all people irrespective of their:
- sex
- ethnicity
- disability
- religious belief/ non-belief
- sexual orientation
- age
- gender reassignment or expression
- marriage or civil partnership and
- pregnancy or maternity status.
These are known as ‘protected characteristics’ as defined by the Equalities Act 2010.
Staff and governors are committed to promoting equality of opportunity across the school community and take seriously the requirements of the Public Sector Equality Duty as defined by The Equalities Act 2010: www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/149
The Public Sector Equality Duty aims to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act. By removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by people due to their protected characteristics.
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not. By taking steps to meet the needs of people from protected groups where these are different from the needs of other people
- Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not. By encouraging people from protected groups to participate in public life or in other activities where their participation is disproportionately low.
