Guidance to help schools in England and Scotland to protect their pupils from discrimination and promote equality has been published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The Schools Technical Guidance outlines the requirements under the Equality Act 2010 and explains how those working in schools can “create an environment where pupils of all backgrounds and abilities are able to learn and progress”. It tackles areas including admissions, education provision, extra-curricular activities, after-school and homework clubs, sports activities and school trips, as well as access to school facilities such as libraries and IT facilities.
The Commission is still developing guidance materials on rights, responsibilities and good practice under the Equality Act 2010. Visit: www.equalityhumanrights.com/legal-and-policy/equality-act/equality-act-codes-of-practice-and-technical-guidance
