At The Welbeck Federation of Schools we strive to: eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the equalities act;

The protected characteristics are:

• age;

We will try to promote equality by:

• Fostering good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it
• Remove or minimise disadvantages suffered by persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are connected to that characteristic
• Take steps to meet the needs of persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are different from the needs of persons who do not share it;
• Encourage persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in school life
• Foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it
• Tackle prejudice
• Promote understanding through our curriculum
