Equality and Diversity

GTCS made a significant statement in their revision of the GTCS standards. The inclusion of UNCRC within the standards put further emphasis of the importance of rights based education for all.  GTCS 1.1 Professional Values sets out very clearly the important role that teachers play in creating social justice.

SSSC Standards highlight that managers/lead practitioners should value and demonstrate a commitment to inclusion, diversity, social justice, anti-discrimination and protecting and caring for children and young people.

We are committed to eliminating discrimination and promoting equality and diversity. We aim to ensure equal opportunities for all staff and our stakeholders, including ‘protected characteristic’ groups, to ensure we can:

• Identify groups at risk of not benefiting fully from education and take action to meet their needs; and

• Help all learners develop the understanding of equality and diversity issues essential for responsible citizens in the 21st century
