Race

Race

Race

Race includes: colour; nationality; ethnic or national origins. A reference to a person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference to a person of a particular racial group; a reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a reference to persons of the same racial group. A racial group is a group of persons defined by reference to race; and a reference to a person’s racial group is a reference to a racial group into which the person falls. The fact that a racial group comprises two or more distinct racial groups does not prevent it from constituting a particular racial group.

How can we ensure that people from all races are treated fairly and feel like they belong in our schools?

A person discriminates against a person if, in the protected period in relation to a pregnancy, if a person treats a person unfavourably because of the pregnancy, or because of illness suffered by a person as a result of it. A person discriminates against a person who is pregnant or who is on maternity leave if a person is treated unfavourably because a person is on compulsory maternity leave.

The protected period, in relation to a person’s pregnancy, begins when the pregnancy begins, and ends – if a person has the right to ordinary and additional maternity leave, at the end of the additional maternity leave period or (if earlier) when a person returns to work after the pregnancy; if a person does not have that right, at the end of the period of 2 weeks beginning with the end of the pregnancy.

DisabilityEdUK

DisabilityEdUK logo

DisabilityEdUK

Disability is often the forgotten characteristic and there are widely held negative assumptions made about disabled people. At DisabilityEdUK we want to support disabled educators to be fully contributing members in education in every role and at every level of leadership. We believe that school leaders have an important role to play in making the disabled workforce in education more accessible and representative of disabled educators everywhere which is why leadership development is a central aspect of our organisation.

Our 20/21 aims are to:

  • educate people to challenge their own biases and assumptions about disabled people.
  • raise awareness of the ableism, stigma and inequity that disabled people experience.
  • provide leadership development to school leaders so that they are disability aware, and can
    fully understand and deliver reasonable adjustments that make educational settings are accessible for all.
  • Challenge the deficit model of disability and promote the skills and talents of disabled
    people in education.

Who we are
We recognise that as a group of women our only diversity is the difference in our disabilities and we are working on increasing representation this year:

  • Ruth Golding: Chronic Illness Physical Disability, Mental Health​
  • Lyn Haynes​: Ally, ITT & Reasonable Adjustments​
  • Vivienne Porritt​: Chronic Illness​
  • Laura McConnell​: Neurodiversity​
  • Cat Salt​: Neurodiversity, Mental Health​
  • Maria Turkenburg​ Ally, ITT & Reasonable Adjustments​
  • Liz Wright: DisabilityEdUk ​ Ambassador - Physical Disability/Limb Difference

DisabilityEdUK…reasonably adjusting attitudes!

Disability

Disability Icon

Disability

Disability

A person has a disability if one has a physical or mental impairment, and the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. A reference to a disabled person is a reference to a person who has a disability; a reference to a person who has a particular protected characteristic is a reference to a person who has a particular disability; a reference to persons who share a protected characteristic is a reference to persons who have the same disability.

How can we ensure that people with disabilities are treated fairly and feel like they belong in our schools?
