Equality: Making It Happen (pilot edition) A guide for schools to make sure everyone is safe, included and learning (2015)
This practical and accessible guide has been developed by CSIE in collaboration with primary and secondary schools.

Materials also include: equality monitoring questionnaires for staff, pupils and parents; key information on equality legislation and a range of equality strands; and a CD with electronic copies of all printed materials and additional resources.
