Strategic Equality Plan 2016-2020 

This is the second Strategic Equality Plan (SEP) produced by Estyn and covers the period April 1st 2016 to March 31st 2020. This plan includes all the protected characteristics covered by the Equality Act 2010;

• age
• disability
• gender reassignment
• marriage and civil partnership
• pregnancy and maternity
• race (including ethnic or national origin, colour or nationality)
• religion or belief (or lack of belief)
• sex and sexual orientation

Estyn operates on the basis that all people have equal rights and should be treated as such regardless of any particular characteristics they might have.

We recognise that discrimination may be experienced as a result of a combination of factors and this plan will help to ensure that we continue the approach we undertook through the previous SEP enabling us to continue to support diversity and equality throughout Estyn.
