The Equalities Act 2010 outlines schools' duties to not discriminate in admissions, exclusions, employment, and education services. Schools are prohibited from discriminating against, harassing, or victimizing prospective or current pupils and staff. These non-discrimination duties apply to all types of schools including local authority maintained schools, non-maintained schools, academies, trusts, foundation schools, and independent schools.
This document discusses a 2008 court case (Lewisham v Malcolm) regarding a man with schizophrenia who sublet his flat without permission and was evicted. Initially the courts ruled in favor of Malcolm, finding the council was discriminating due to his disability. However, the House of Lords overturned this, finding his disability unrelated to the council's actions. The document then explains how the Equality Act of 2010 changed the test for discrimination claims, removing the need for a comparator and instead asking if the unfavorable treatment was because of the disability. It established that organizations must ensure treatment is not a result of the disability and introduced the single objective justification test.
The Equality Act 2010 outlines requirements for fair and non-discriminatory school admissions processes. Admissions criteria cannot directly or indirectly discriminate based on protected characteristics like sex, race, disability, or religion. Exceptions exist for single-sex schools and schools designated as having a religious character, which may prioritize members of their own sex or religion. All other protected characteristics cannot be used as criteria. The Act also prohibits discrimination during the application process and requires reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants.
