Leadership
School leaders have an important role to play in ensuring schools and learning communities strive to promote equality and diversity, in ensuring everyone is treated with respect and that individual differences are valued.
School leaders not only have to consider their own role in avoiding and/or addressing institutional discrimination, but also ensure that they themselves are positive role models for the whole school community.
There is also the added responsibility of making sure that everyone is provided the same equal opportunities, particularly in terms of recruitment, to ensure Scotland’s diversity is represented across the teaching population in our schools to support and inspire Scotland’s young people.
