What equality law means for you as an education provider: schools

This guidance deals with the schools provisions of the Equality Act 2010. Avoiding discrimination and promoting equality supports the agenda of improving attainment and progression for all pupils. Good education and skills are crucial for opening up opportunities and increasing the chance of a successful life. In addition, in England, equality and diversity are specified factors that must be taken into account in Ofsted inspections. This means that if equality measures are not implemented effectively this may restrict the overall inspection grade.
