MISSION
Despite the national law and policies for equality, prejudice and discrimination is still present at many schools. CSIE has
worked with schools to create a guide to help educate people out of prejudice. The guide has a very user-friendly layout
and engages the whole school community. Presenting the materials in a way that attracts the attention of all teachers
and education practitioners equality is seen as an important priority in school.

The guide has been developed in close collaboration with primary and secondary schools in England. It covers various
aspects of school live and a range of equality issues including disability, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation,
culture/ethnicity and socioeconomic background. The material offers key information on each theme, practical advice
and suggested activities for promoting equality.
