This would be the appropriate comment to embed congruence, showing that we are real and genuine and to understand that we will experience diversity. In practice working with diversity means to become aware of the diversity between ourselves, the people we work with and the communities we serve. In class we have different genders, ages, races, and religions and these are the differences that we see. We define diversity as four fold: values, emotional, identity and physical characteristics, and others are emotional such as behaviour and style. Invisible difference includes values such as integrity and a way of life, and identity – also invisible – includes gay and lesbian and social class.

SHC 33 OUTCOME 1.1 The following bullet points describe what is meant by the terms Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and Discrimination. * Diversity: Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences.

1.1. Explain what is meant by: • Diversity • Equality • Inclusion • Discrmination Diversity: Diversity literally means difference. Diversity is significantly related to the fact that though people are very similar to each other, but they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognizing and valuing those differences.

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.
Inclusion Inclusion, this is the total opposite of discrimination and I think it means to be fully included, to make people feel valued and respected irrespective of ethnicity, gender, disability, medical or other need, culture, age, religion and sexual orientation. It is about giving equal access and opportunities, breaking down barriers and getting rid of discrimination andintolerance. Describe the potential effects of discrimination The potential effects of discrimination could be different for different people, these could be emotional or physical, sometimes even abit of both. Possible effects could be: · Depression · Low self esteem · Feeling isolated · Stress · Fear of rejection · Humiliation · Weight loss or gain · Anger Long term effects could be: · Long term depression · Increased behaviour problems · Difficulty communicating · Lack of acheivment · Lack of education · Restricted oppurtunities Explain how inclusive practice promotes equality and supports diversity Inclusive practice promotes a service users right to access to equal opportunities.

Equality and Diversity promotes that everyone has a human right be equal and have the opportunity to achieve their potential, free from prejudice and discrimination. Under the Equal Opportunities Act we have to ensure equality and diversity to all learners and staff. This means that the environment where the teaching is taking place promotes equality and diversity. Diversity is the acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, applied to the demographic make-up of the local area.
