Equality Objectives

The Public Sector Equality Duty requires public authorities to have due regard to the need to:

• Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Act
• Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and people who do not share it
• Foster good relations between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not share it

As a school we are also required to follow the specific duties. This means we need to:

• Define one or more equality objectives that support the aims of the general duty (by 6 April 2012 and at least every four years thereafter)
• Ensure the objectives are specific and measurable
• Publish the objectives so that they are accessible to the public.

Our main aims as a school are to drive up standards and to achieve a greater equality of opportunity for our Deaf students.
