Improvement questions

1. How does this work link with the range of protected characteristics that are defined by the Equality Act (2010)?
2. To what extent do our learners understand the concept of sectarianism?
3. Do we offer our learners the opportunity to explore their own life experiences in relation to sectarianism?
4. How far as a school community do we challenge bigotry, prejudice and discrimination towards members, or presumed members, of a religious denomination?
