Public Sector Equality Duty
As an Multi Academy Trust, we are also required by the Public Sector Equality Duty under Section 149 of the Act to take positive steps to:
• Eliminate unlawful discrimination;
• Advance equality of opportunity; and
• Foster good relations between people from different groups.
In line with its specific duties under the Equality Act 2010, we will publish our equality objectives and will publish information about how it is complying with the Public Sector Equality Duty. Objectives will be updated every four years.
