Promoting anti-discriminatory practice at this SEN school is defined by working with children and their families to embrace diversity and the valuing of all difference; raise self-esteem and promote a positive group identity and ensure fulfilment of children's individual potential.
The school has used the guidance from various pieces of legislation to create their own policies designed to reduce discrimination. These include the Disability Discrimination Act 2005, the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001, the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000, Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN, 1989), The Human Rights Act 1998, The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (as amended), Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003, the Equality Act 2010.
However, whilst this legislation is important because it is designed to protect the children, the one thing it cannot do is change some people’s attitudes towards discriminating against disability.
