The Lancashire Equality Mark is awarded to schools who have taken measures to embed Equality throughout their practice with the goal of enabling all pupils to thrive in a supportive learning community. It has been developed by a working group in Lancashire and provides a clear framework to guide schools through the process of auditing, developing and consolidating good practice in different areas of Equality.

The Equality Mark is comprised of six individual Equality Badges: 

• Race Equality Badge
• Gender and Gender Variance Equality Badge
• Disability Equality Badge
• Socio-economic Equality Badge
• Sexual Orientation Equality Badge
• Religion and Belief Equality Badge
