Equality and Diversity Resource Pack for Schools
Under the new Inspection Framework (September 2012), inspectors have a duty to assess schools on:
- how well the school is working towards eliminating discrimination, promoting equal opportunities and encouraging good race relations
- how well the school strives to meet the diverse needs of all pupils
- the extent to which the school meets the needs of the range of learners at the school, and in particular, those who have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010 and learners who have special educational needs
- how well tutors manage the behaviour and expectations of learners to ensure that all learners have an equal and fair chance to thrive and learn in an atmosphere of respect and dignity.
In the event that a learning provider of any kind is judged to be inadequate in equality and diversity and challenging discrimination, the learning provider’s overall effectiveness is also likely to be deemed inadequate.
The modules in the resource pack will help you to understand the steps you need to take in order to embed equality and diversity into all teaching and learning practice and activity.
