beliefs, race, disability, gender, gender reassignment, marriage and maternity. (Equality and
human rights commision 2016)
For example, in a care home to promote equality you can offer everybody tea which means you are
treating everybody fairly because you have offered it to everyone which is everybody’s decision to
accept it or decline it. Another example could be in nursery, if a child doesn't speak any english and
they are doing a activity the child is not going to understand the instruction which means he/she is
going to be left out and not involved in the activity to overcome this the teacher should use pictures or
flash cards to explain the instruction so that the child can understand,and be included in the activity.

Diversity is about understanding how people are unique and have different needs than others and
understanding of the different needs. Also recognising and valuing people's differences such as;
gender, ethnic origins, social, cultural or religious background, family structure, disabilities, sexuality
and appearance. ( Queensborough community college 2016)
For example, you can promote diversity in a hospital by providing different variety of food
because some of the patients may be vegetarian or allergic to some ingredients so instead of giving
everybody chicken burger there you be different variety of food provided , you should have
knowledge of what your patients are allowed to eat.

Inclusion means including or being included in a group or a activity, also inclusion is about accepting
everyone regardless of differences. It is also about getting rid of prejudice of differences and providing
help and support where appropriate. Workplaces that supports and promotes inclusion demonstrates
that it values everything about the people involved within it. If you promote inclusion in a care home it
develops sense of belonging in the individuals. For example when your with your family you feel
happy and you have the sense of belonging because your family include you, old people in care home
do not have their family there with them so the carers should include everybody in the care home so
the elderly people feel happy and comfortable in the care home because it can lead to anxiety and
depression.

D2 1.2:
The equality act 2010 is a legal system to protect the rights of individuals and protects against direct
and indirect discrimination. The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the
workplace and in wider society. It replaced previous anti-discrimination laws with a single Act, making
the law easier to understand and making the protection stronger in some situations. It sets out the
different ways in which it’s unlawful to treat someone. (Equality and human rights commision
2010)

The protected characteristics the act protects are: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or
civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity

The Equality Act became law in October, 2010. It replaced previous legislation such as the Race
Relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and ensures consistency in what
employers and employees need to do to make their workplaces a fair environment and stick with the
law. Equality is about ensuring everybody has an equal opportunity, and is not discriminated against
because of their characteristics. Diversity is about taking account of the differences between people
and groups of people, and placing a positive value on those differences. (Equality and human
rights commision 2010)

C1 2.1:
There are types of discriminations, direct discrimination, indirect discrimination and harassment.
