School Equality Auditing Tool
The Equalities Award is an online auditing tool providing schools with the opportunity to evaluate, strengthen and showcase their whole school approach to equality, diversity and inclusion.
Schools working towards an Award are assigned an Award Representative who provides bespoke guidance and support throughout the process. Schools also gain access to EqualiTeach Empowered, which is full of template policies, examples of good practice and guidance documents.

Achieve Goals with Expert Support
The Award has been designed by a team of equality and education experts to allow schools to fulfil their statutory duties to:
- Eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations (Equality Act, 2010)
- Promote community cohesion (Education and Inspections Act, 2006)
- Prevent people being drawn into terrorism (Counter Terrorism and Security Act, 2015)
- Safeguard children and promote spiritual moral, social and cultural development (Education Act, 2002)
People have noticed and commented on how positive the school is.
