Equalities policy guide
This guide supports the development of an equalities policy. It ensures that learner participation is central to the process. This aligns with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The roadmap outlines the different stages of developing policy. It includes case studies, resources and links to support the process. The roadmap is circular to capture the cyclical and ongoing nature of equalities work, policy review and development.
Policies and interventions should be reviewed and evaluated regularly to shape future actions.
Why equalities policy is important
Learners from Cawdor Primary and Knightsridge Primary were asked why they felt equalities work was important. In this short animation they discuss the importance of equalities work.
We are keen to gather feedback on this resource, so that we can ensure that is accessible and user friendly. If you have used this resource, please consider completing the equalities policy guide evaluation form.
If you are developing or reviewing equalities policies in your setting and looking for opportunities to collaborate, learn and access support, you can Join the Education Scotland Equalities Policy Guide Network (office.com). We will hold monthly drop-ins and offer professional learning opportunities relevant to policy development.
