1Equality objectives in schools smart and unsmart directions of travel Robin Richardson ________________________________________ _____________________________ Background and summary This paper describes the responses by schools to the specific duties required by the Equality Act 2010, particularly the duty to prepare and publish measurable objectives . It suggests that most schools do not appear to understand what the legislation requires. Also, however, it gives examples of positive responses, and itemises the principal features of good practice. Also it commends documentation published by the inspectorates in England and Wales, and by the Office of the Children s Commissioner in England.

2 Legal requirements Since April 2012 all schools have been required by law to publish equality objectives, or – as the term might be, equality directions of travel.
