Published 29 April 2022
Request
Please may you provide me with:
Q1. Confirmation if you currently have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion ("EDI") policy which impacts specifically on schools within your area.
Q2. Copies of your EDI policy and all associate literature on anti-racism that inform teacher training, teaching and the curriculum in schools.
Q3. Details of any third party organisations that you liaise with in support of the preparation and facilitation of your EDI policies within schools, including for teacher training.
Response
Q1. The Council does not specifically have an EDI policy for schools, it is the schools' responsibility to write their own based on DFE (Department for Education) guidance. There is however a whole council EDI policy.
Q2. The Council's policy is available to view on the Herefordshire Council website at the following link:
https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/downloads/file/4217/equality-policy-2020-2023
Herefordshire Council does not provide teacher training, this is provided by other organisations such as Teaching School Hubs. Schools purchase their own CPD (Continuing Professional Development). The council does not provide a CPD service.
Q3. None.
