Equality Act 2010 was introduced to ensure protection from discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the grounds of specific characteristics (referred to as protected characteristics). For schools, this means that it is unlawful to discriminate against students or treat them less favourably because of their gender; race; disability; religion or belief; gender reassignment and sexual orientation.

Under the Act, the Trust is expected to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty. This requires us to:

  • Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation;
  • Advance equality of opportunity between different groups and;
  • Foster good relations between different groups.

As a public organisation, we are required to:

  • Publish information to show compliance with the Equality Duty. This is done via our Equalities Policy and;
  • Publish Equality Objectives which are specific and measurable.

You can find our Equality Objectives and Policy in the Policies section of our website.

Under the provisions of the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017, where a Trust has more than 49 full time equivalent employees throughout any 7 months within the reporting period, it must include information included in Schedule 2 of the Regulations.

The Trust pays into a local authority scheme which provides this service. More details of which can be found in our Annual Report.
