DC is at a primary, does anyone have a well worded complaint that I can email to the head & governors about them using “gender” instead of “sex” in the equalities policy?

Here is the segment: “What is Equality? Equality is the principle of equal treatment for all people irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, disability, religious belief/ non-belief, sexual orientation, age, gender re assignment, marriage or civil partnership and .pregnancy or maternity status”

I used to be a capable person but my brain is fried from having too many small children who don’t sleep.

Safe Schools Alliance have lots of factsheets and sample letters you can copy and use with schools who "forget" that sex is one of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act:

And sex matters have a very useful guide for schools to make sure they don't unlawfully discriminate against the protected characteristics of sex and gender reassingment.

The list seems to be taken from the Equality Act and it's protected characteristics so I'd point out that they've omitted sex which is legally a protected characteristic whereas gender isn't.

Gender reassignment is, but they've already included that.
