Equality Act in schools: CPD for school leaders
Our Equality in Schools continuous professional development (CPD) training programme equips school and trust leaders with the knowledge and confidence to understand their legal responsibilities and make informed decisions on equality issues in relation to pupil matters.
Save time and money while mitigating risk, ensuring your school or trust gets things right from the outset.
Course outcomes
By completing this programme, delegates will be able to ensure a consistent approach across their organisation, with all leaders/governors working to the same policies and procedures.
We encourage a growth mindset, where senior leaders can develop their knowledge and expertise, share practical advice with other leaders, tips and experience and build confidence when supporting pupils with protected characteristics.
You’ll gain the confidence that decisions being made in respect of pupils with protected characteristics are legally compliant and reflect best practice.
Course structure
This interactive programme is delivered over six months, consisting of six two-hour sessions delivered via zoom, with access to a range of supporting resources.
Session topics include:
- Race, religion and disability.
- Gender identity.
- Political impartiality and the Public Sector Equality Duty.
- Reflection, latest legal updates and Q&A session.
We can also deliver the course for individual academy trusts on times and dates that suit. If there are a number of senior personnel who would benefit from the course this may be more cost-effective. Please contact us for more details.
Content
Join us on a journey with us through a six-session course, each lasting an hour, focusing on critical protected characteristics such as race, religion, disability, gender reassignment, Special Educational Needs (SEN), and political impartiality.
Each session combines a succinct legal overview with vibrant, relevant case studies drawn from real challenges schools face today. These sessions are designed to refine your professional judgment and shield your institution from potential legal issues.
