A Roundtable Discussion on Equalities Duties: How do Governors and Leaders implement the Equalities Duties?

Setting the context:

Hackney is one of the most richly diverse boroughs in London. It is a melting pot of religious and cultural beliefs, with individuals representing each of the characteristics protected by the Equality Act. Nevertheless, from wide ranging evidence, we know that people in our community, including children in our schools, experience inequality. 

In hosting this round table debate, we wish to bring together the experiences of a diverse group of governors, leaders and other colleagues. We are seeking to draw together participants’ perspectives as we aim to explore:

  1. What are the key issues and tensions that surround how effectively governing boards implement the equalities duties?

  2. How do we know ~ what does the evidence tell us about those who are experiencing inequality? 

  3. Where are the apparent weaknesses within our system practices and why might this be so?

  4. What actions might we take forward to better support governing boards in implementing the Equalities Duties that bring about sustained systemic change?

 

In advance of joining this session, we ask participants to consider:

  1. What Equality Objectives have your governing board identified, how are they measured, and how clearly is this information published on your school website?

  2. Examples of comparative data showing disproportionate overrepresentation:

    1.  Pupils - eg. Attainment, Attendance Behaviour & Exclusion;SEND Effective engagement with parents, reports of discrimination / racism;  outcome of survey with pupils and families

    2. Staff: eg. recruitment; development; benefits & support; performance management; reports of discrimination / racism;Workforce data - leadership, teacher, ancillary staff and governing board outcome of survey with staffand and governors

  3. Best practice and ideas - models that already are or have potential to impact in bringing about change
