Scoil Naomh Fiachra, Clontubrid

Policy on Equality of Opportunity For Male and Female Staff and Students

• The Equal Status Act 2000 precludes discrimination on the gender ground in the provisions of services (including education).
• In Scoil Naomh Fiachra, Cluain Tiobrad it is our policy to give both boys and girls equal opportunities in curricular and sporting areas.
• The Employment Equality Act 1997 precludes discrimination on the gender ground in the employment of staff.

Nothing will appear in an advertisement that will indicate a preference for one gender over the other. Neither will any questions be asked at interview that could be interpreted as discriminating on the gender grounds.

The school's policy in this regard would be enshrined in a statement that "This school is an Equal Opportunities Employer".
