You can download the guidance in pdf format by clicking on the link below.
The Race Relations Act 1976 (as amended by the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000) gives public bodies, including schools, a statutory duty to promote race equality. Schools have specific duties to help them meet this general duty.
This concise guidance document aims to help schools to fulfil their obligations under this Act, and implement their statutory Race Equality Policy. It outlines practical steps that schools can take to mainstream race equality within existing work to improve pupils' attainment and to build a school community with a positive ethos that reflects the wider community.
Focussing on results, or outcomes, 'School's race equality programmes - from issues to outcomes' directs our attention to the difference that schools should be making in the lives of their pupils.
