Birmingham's Education Service...

• has a strong commitment to equality of opportunity at all levels throughout the service;
  
  
• takes positive action to increase members from groups currently under represented in the teaching profession.

To strengthen our multi-cultural, anti-racist and Equal Opportunity perspective we have three major aims:

• to be aware of and to counter racism and discriminatory practices;
  
  
• to be aware of and to provide for the particular needs of pupils with regard to their ethnic, cultural, historical, linguistic and religious backgrounds;
  
  
• to prepare all pupils for life in our multi-cultural society and build on strengths of cultural diversity.
