What is Public Sector Equality Duty?
The public sector equality duty (PSED) requires schools to:
- Publish information to demonstrate how they are complying with the PSED – schools must update this published information at least every year
- Prepare and publish equality objectives – schools must update these objectives at least once every 4 years
The PSED was introduced by the Equality Act 2010 and applies to all schools, including maintained schools, academies, independent schools, maintained nursery schools, and maintained and non-maintained special schools.
