Developing and Implementing the Scheme

Key to this process for our school is the implementation of Equality Impact Assessments (EQUIAs)

We use this tool as a common sense measure of determining whether a policy, practice or project will impact on all groups equally or whether it potentially may have a differential impact on one or more particular group (either positively or negatively).  It helps us to ensure that there is no unlawful discrimination against certain individuals or groups and those positive duties are promoted equally. It is a way to ensure we meet the diverse needs of our pupils/students and staff and that diversity, equality and inclusion run through all areas of school life.
