Effective Equal Opportunities policy
-
Look at the school's Equal Opportunities policy and how it
works in practice. This ranges from whole-school, shared procedures
for effectively tackling racism and bullying to ensuring Equal
Opportunities works for disabled parents, visitors, and governors
and school board members. This includes easy access, appropriate
toilets and induction loops in the Hall to facilitate hearing.
If there are no disabled pupils in the school, discuss what
factors prevent this, and how they could be addressed to make
the school more inclusive.

Dadzie (2000) suggests ideas to improve a school's anti-racist
ethos. These include having an unambiguous anti-racist message
conveyed throughout the school; ensuring that there are black
and ethnic minority parents involved where possible in all aspects
of the school's work and decision making; ensuring access to
professional interpreters; and providing lunches which reflect
the range of pupils' tastes and requirements.

Staff at Southwell Primary School in Dorset carried out a risk
assessment of the school in preparation for the arrival of a
new blind pupil. They invited a teacher for the visually impaired
from the LEA to run a session to raise their own awareness of
practical issues. Then pupils, inmates from the local prison,
and members of the community joined together to raise funds
and make an adventure trail in the school grounds for the new
pupil.
