In October 2010, the New Equality Act set out through the Public Sector Duty, which states that the Academy must have due regard to:
1) Eliminate discrimination and other conduct that is prohibited by the Equality Act 2010
2) Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
3) Foster good relations across all characteristics – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
4) Consult and involve those affected by inequality in decisions that promote equality and eliminate discrimination – including parents, pupils, staff and members of the local community.
