Promote equality and inclusion in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings SC2 Unit 10: 1.1 Diversity: The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It includes knowing how to relate to those qualities and conditions that are different from our own and outside the groups which we belong to, but are present in other individuals or groups. Examples of the different characteristics are: age; culture; disability (mental, learning, physical); economic background; education; ethnicity; gender identity; language spoken; marital/partner status; physical appearance; race; religious beliefs; sexual orientation. Diversity is a commitment to recognising and appreciating the variety of characteristics that make individuals unique in a way that promotes and celebrates both individual and collective achievement. By valuing the variety and individual differences we can create a culture, environment and practises that respect and celebrate these for the benefit of society, organisations and individual.
Diversity is the recognising and valuing difference in its broadest sense. It is about creating a culture and practices that recognise, respect, value and embrace difference for the benefit of everyone.
