Equality – Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make
the most of their lives and talents. It is also the belief that no one should have poorer life
chances because of the way they were born.
Diversity – Diversity means having a range of people with various racial, ethnic and cultural
backgrounds and various lifestyles and experiences. Having a variety of individuals and
points of view represented in the department. Diversity is a group of people who are
different in the same place
Inclusion – The act of including someone or something as part of a group, person or thing
that is included. The idea that everyone should be able to use the same facilities, take part
in the same activities and enjoy the same experiences including people who have a disability
or other disadvantages.
D2:
The main pieces of legislation which apply to equality, diversity and inclusion are the
equality act 2010 and the human rights act 1998, some of the older laws such as the
disability discrimination act can still be relevant, although generally the equality act includes
and updates most of the older legislations
D3:
Equality and inclusion within health and social care is vital to ensuring peoples differences
are valued and that people are treated equally and supported to take part in whatever they
wish to do but also that services support people in all areas to be able to look after
themselves and prevent issues. To work in ways that are inclusive you need to understand
and value the things that make people different. The care and support you provide must be
specific to each individuals needs, wishes and preferences.
