EQUALITIES AND DIVERSITY

Aims and rationale

Our Trust aims to meet its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) by having due regard to the need to:

  • Eliminate discrimination and other conduct that is prohibited by the Equality Act 2010
  • Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
  • Foster good relations across all characteristics – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it 
  • This is important because eliminating discrimination, advancing equality of opportunity and fostering good relations are essential to achieving our wider aims of educational excellence and transformational personal development.
  • These aims are in full alignment with the vision, ethos and values of Moorlands Learning Trust
