Protected Characteristics
At Radcliffe on Trent Junior School we prepare learners for adult life, equipping them to be respectful and responsible British citizens. We aim to develop their understanding, appreciation and celebration of diversity of the different protected characteristics defined by law.
Under the Equality Act 2010, people in Britain are protected from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. The Equality Act states that there are 9 protected characteristics;
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Race
- Religion or belief
- Marriage or civil partnership
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- Pregnancy and maternity
The government does stress that not all these characteristics have to be taught in every year group and schools should use their professional judgement to plan their curriculum appropriately.
At Radcliffe on Trent Juniors, our curriculum is planned and delivered so that children develop age-appropriate knowledge and understanding during their time at school. Through a thorough PSHCE and RSHE curriculum and school assemblies, we teach our children about these issues.
