Governors are reminded that the Public Sector Equality Duty requires schools to publish equality information . The Equality Act 2010 introduced a single Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) and this applies to public bodies, including maintained schools and academies.
The PSED requires schools to:
- Publish information to demonstrate how they are complying with the PSED – this information must include, in particular, information relating to people who share a protected characteristic
- Prepare and publish equality objectives
Schools need to update the published information at least annually and to publish objectives at least once every four years.
Data about employees will not need to be published where a public authority has fewer than 150 employees. This means that for the majority of Haringey’s schools, only pupil-related data will need to be published.
