RACE EQUALITY POLICY AND RACIAL EQUALITY SCHEME GUIDANCE FOR SCHOOLS
Background

Following the Stephen Lawrence enquiry, the Race Relations (Amendment)
Act 2000 required all public organisations, such as the Council and schools,
to produce a Race Equality policy and Race Equality Scheme. The
commission for Race Equality has issued guidance to all public organisations
informing them of the requirements to produce a Race Equality Scheme.

Now that the Council scheme is in place this document sets out the
requirements for schools, and will be reviewed every three years.
