Equality Act 2010 Explanatory Notes

Examples
  • Having identified that its white male pupils are underperforming at maths, a school could run supplementary maths classes exclusively for them.

  • An NHS Primary Care Trust identifies that lesbians are less likely to be aware that they are at risk of cervical cancer and less likely to access health services such as national screening programmes. It is also aware that those who do not have children do not know that they are at an increased risk of breast cancer. Knowing this it could decide to establish local awareness campaigns for lesbians on the importance of cancer screening.
