We will be doing maintenance to our website systems on Sunday, 31 January. Despite the ongoing situation with Covid-19 it is essential that we maintain the security of our systems. This will help us continue to deliver vital public health messages and information about council services via our website and allow you all to access our services using online forms. The work should be done with little disruption to you and any interruption should be short. If you do have problems accessing the site or something doesn’t work on Sunday, please try again later.
Relevant legislation in this area are namely the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Equality Act 2010. Employers need to be mindful that they attach the appropriate level of importance to an employee’s request for consideration of their religious beliefs or practices. All schools have different circumstances and therefore must use their discretion to make informed decisions about the needs of their children and staff.
N.B. Bradford Council recommends that all children, regardless of their faith are afforded up to 3 days authorised absence per academic year for religious and cultural observance, with requests for more than 3 days of absence considered on a case by case basis, and authorised if exceptional circumstances exist and the relevant religious body agrees that the absence is essential.
More information on religious events can be found on Bradford Schools Online: https://bso.bradford.gov.uk/content/equality--diversity-and-achievement/religious-festivals-and-special-times-update
