Ravens Wood School stands against all forms of discrimination. As a school community, we must make every effort to show our commitment to equality and be vigilant to safeguard the laws which protect every one of us. Our aim is equality for everyone, not just a few. We must support those groups and individuals with protected characteristics* who remain at greatest risk of discrimination and unfair treatment which in turn, can lead to very unequal life outcomes. The school’s Equality Objectives should be read in conjunction with the Accessibility Policy, the Equal Opportunities Policy and the Disability Equality Scheme.
Long-term Aim 1: Strong and progressive equality and human rights protections for everyone at Ravens Wood.
Long-term Aim 2: Elimination of discrimination, victimisation, abuse, harassment, hate-crime and bullying based on protected characteristics.
Long-term Aim 3: Ravens Wood is a cohesive community that develops students that are resilient, fair and equal.
The school’s long term aims will be achieved through the following objectives:
In addition to the shared Equality Objectives above, the School and the Trust stand united in an unflinching ambition to tackle racism in our communities and seek to develop a culture of active anti-racism.
* Protected characteristics are identified as per the Equality Act of 2010: Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race, Religion or belief, Sex and sexual orientation
