Race equality and diversity

We believe that all children and young people are entitled to the highest quality education which enables them to achieve their best.

Key information

The Cambridgeshire Race Equality and Diversity Service (CREDS) works with schools, parents/carers and communities to support the achievement of minority ethnic, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller children and young people. This includes learners of English as an additional language (EAL).

Your rights and responsibilities

The Equality Act 2010 sets out the law and rights and responsibilities around equality.

How we can help

We can help you to:

  • access education
  • communicate with settings and schools in English and a range of other languages
  • work with schools to resolve issues, including around racist and other prejudice-related incidents
  • access other children’s services, such as health or childcare
