Equality and Human Rights Commission – Schools in Wales technical guidance consultation
This technical guidance explains schools’ legal obligations not to discriminate against, harass or victimise pupils, as set out in chapter 1 of Part 6 of the Equality Act 2010 (the Act). It suggests steps that schools may wish to take to comply and provides information for others who work to resolve any issues arising under the Act, such as parents, carers, advisers, lawyers, courts and tribunals. This guidance is not a statutory code issued under section 14 of the Equality Act 2006, but it may be used as evidence in legal proceedings.
