Prenton High School is dedicated to ensuring fair treatment for all and providing everyone with access to the best possible education. We are committed to eliminating unlawful discrimination, harassment, and victimisation, while promoting equal opportunities and fostering positive relationships between diverse groups within the academy and the local community.
Our General Equality Duty
In October 2010, the new Equality Act introduced a Public Sector Duty, which requires the Academy to have due regard to the need to:
- Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
Protected Characteristics
There are nine protected characteristics under the Equality Act: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
Public organisations such as schools are required to establish at least one equality objective to address any areas of inequality, or possible inequality, identified as part of our analysis.
