Abstract:
Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a theoretical basis, this paper discusses the impact of the politics and perceptions on compliance with legislative requirements as reflected through the equality processes within a case study institution. The tendency towards adopting the formal equality stance impacts on the case study’s equality processes and, in turn, their response to the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED). The institutional barriers are not seen by those tasked with implementing the PSEDs because a substantive approach is not adopted. The situation is unlikely to improve whilst the external pressures on institutions decline further. However, this paper will explore the implications of the approaches to equality and the PSED for the TEF. Will the need for institutions to consider the whole student journey in relation to the various protected characteristics provide the impetus needed for institutions to demonstrate their commitment to equality?
