Single equality schemes: examples

A single equality scheme is no longer a requirement

Your school must comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), part of the Equality Act 2010. 

This means that you have to publish the following:

• Equality information and objectives
• An accessibility plan

You're not required to create a single equality scheme, although the DfE’s guidance states that you can do so if it helps you comply with the equality duty (see paragraph 5.16).

Primary examples 

• Appleton Primary School in Hull 
• Riverhead Infants' School in Kent

Secondary examples 

• Bishop Heber High School in Cheshire
• Katharine Lady Berkeley’s School in Gloucestershire (under “safeguarding policies”)

Special school example

• Abbey Court Foundation Special School in Medway
