Pregnancy or maternity
Intent
To ensure we do not unlawfully discriminate, harass or victimise pupils due to a pupil becoming pregnant.
To ensure there is equality of opportunity for a pupil who becomes pregnant.
To ensure good relations are fostered between all members of the school community when a pupil becomes pregnant.
Implementation
• Should a pupil become pregnant, ‘Suitable education’ meets the individual needs of the pupil and takes account of their age, ability, aptitude and individual needs including any special educational needs they may have.
• PSHE/SRE – curriculum
• Liaison with relevant agencies, such as NHS and Children’s Services
• School Values
• Individual support through the Family Liaison Officer
Impact
The pupils will experience:
• a sense of self
• a sense of belonging
• respect for others, non-discrimination
• be challenged on any discrimination shown by them to others
• be able to indicate their needs, wants and views
This impact will be evident in:
• EHCP/ILP reviews
• Pupil voice
• Demonstrating through their learning; experiencing, engaging, awareness and understanding of issues around the protected characteristic of pregnancy and maternity
