It is crucial that children and young people gain knowledge, skills and attributes needed for the 21st century. Our children have a right to learn in an equitable environment where all cultures, religions, identities and languages are recognised and valued and where we respond positively to the diverse needs of individuals.
Equality Act 2010
– The Act legally protects people from discrimination
– As well as protecting individuals from unfair treatment, this law also promotes a fair and more equal society.
– Section 1492 of the Equality Act 2010 Act places a general duty on public authorities to have due regard to: eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation; advancing equality of opportunity; and fostering good relations between persons who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
At Carnegie we aim to:
