Equality Objectives

 

Equality Objectives

 

The Equality Act 2010 replaced all existing equality legislation. It put in place a number of duties to ensure public bodies and schools have due regard to certain Protected Characteristics. The protected characteristics are: age, gender reassignment, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation and pregnancy / maternity.

 

The general duty is set out in Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010. In summary, all public bodies and schools must have due regard to the need to:

  1. Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
  2. Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
  3. Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

 

Schools have a legal requirement to prepare and publish one or more specific and measurable equality objectives, every 4 years, which will help them to further the three aims of the Equality Duty. 

 

Further information about equality issues can be found in the school’s Equality Policy.
