- A recent letter to all schools from the Office of Fair Trading says that expensive, exclusive agreements may be subject to enforcement action.
X Schools continue to have the power to set uniform policy and discipline pupils who do not comply:
- Pupils may be sent home to change their clothes if they do not wear the right uniform.
- But schools should carefully investigate the reasons behind why a pupil is not attending school in the correct uniform. In cases of financial difficulty, schools should be sensitive to the needs of the pupil and give parents time and assistance to purchase the right clothing.
X Advice on equality and discrimination issues related to uniform policy:
- Schools must act reasonably in accommodating religious requirements, providing they do not pose a threat to security, safety and learning, or compromise the well-being of the whole school community.
- Where individual requirements have an impact in any of these areas, schools are within their rights to take appropriate action, but they must make any decisions in consultation with parents and the local community.
