The Equality Act 2010 combined nine separate pieces of legislation into one single Act simplifying the law and strengthening it in important ways to help tackle discrimination and inequality.
The Act introduced 9 protected characteristics;
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage and civil partnership
- Race
- Religion and belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- Pregnancy and maternity
As a school we do not prejudice and are fully inclusive and supportive of our whole learning community.
We use a range of picture books to highlight these protected characteristics. They cement and role model positive attitudes through high quality, enjoyable stories. In addition to this, we use ‘Picture News’ to draw our children’s attention to current affairs.
