Diversity can mean all different things. Diversity understands that people may have things in common with each other, but they are different in their own ways, e.g. different cultures, personal characteristics, maybe a disability, religions and beliefs, gender and age and even sexual orientation. Equality is making sure that everyone or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less happier, specific to their needs. Including areas of race, disability, gender, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age. Inclusion means a work environment where everyone has an opportunity to fully participate ,it’s a feeling included and feeling respected and valued for who you are no matter if the person has advantages. Discrimination an act or instance of discriminating, or of making a distinction. treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favour of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit 2. The potential effects of discrimination can be different for different people. The effects can be physical, emotional or a combination of both. For example service users with disabilities may not be given a chance to join in with activities due to others thinking that their disability prevents them from being able to do so. This will make the service user feel very different from others. E.g. stress, low self esteem, depression, weight loss/gain, fear, anger, loss of motivation, feeling withdrawn from society. 3. Inclusive practice supports and promotes both diversity and equality by working to welcome everyone
