Our living and learning statement has been about respecting others. We linked this to our knowledge of the protected characteristics.
There are nine protected characteristics under the Equality Act:
-
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage and civil partnership
- Pregnancy and maternity
- Race
- Religion or belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
We use the DR GRAMPSS acronym to remember these characteristics. Our class discussions focused on respectful relationships, helping us to understand the importance of respect and tolerance.
