Background
New legislation and single equalities and what it means to you
The government is committed to addressing inequalities and discrimination in
society. The recommendations in the equalities review ‘Fairness and Freedom’
will affect you. It offers:
 | A new comprehensive framework for measuring progress towards equality |
| A new legal framework - simpler, more coherent and outcome focused |
| More accountability for delivering equality |
| A more sophisticated enforcement regime |
Inevitably there are challenges. This workshop will explore these issues, consider the implications for disability equality in practice and the approach towards single equalities.
The June regional workshop will enable you to:
| Consider single equalities, new legislation and what it means for you | ||||||||||
| Hear directly from Principals or Senior Managers about leading change in equality | ||||||||||
| Actively explore good practice and practical solutions in relation to the
project in your region and:
| ||||||||||
| Receive a copy of the Disability Rights Commission’s guidance for post-school providers on implementing disability legislation and consider how to use it | ||||||||||
| Network, share experiences and solutions with colleagues |
