Equalities legislation
Description
Education broadcaster and journalist Mike Baker discusses the implications of recent equalities legislation with presenter Sheena McDonald. Mike explains what difference the new requirements to promote equality within schools will make to teachers and pupils. We hear from Sarah Spencer, Chair of the Equality and Diversity Forum, who says the new equality requirements can be fed into the classroom through the curriculum, and argues that it is unlikely that any schools will be taken to court. We also speak to the NUT's Head of Education, John Bangs, who believes that court cases will probably be fought over the lack of access in some schools for people with disabilities. Plus we find out what David Winters, the headteacher of Lonesome Primary School in Merton, is doing in his school to tackle racism in the classroom.
