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. I do not discriminate against anyone because of their: age; gender; race, colour, ethnic, national, cultural or social origin; disability; religion and belief, or non-belief; marital status, family circumstances or caring responsibilities; sexual orientation and class.
• Equality- everyone having the same opportunity-For most of us, treating people equally and appreciating people's differences is the basis of being a good citizen. This has to be learnt from a very early stage so that children can understand that no matter what differences people may have, we have to still be treated equally. • Inclusion accepting them as individual and working towards the care plan.

Inclusive practices within a childcare setting ensures that all children are valued, respected and included. By demonstrating this type of attitude as practitioners, we are sending out a clear message to all the young people in our care that 'Every Child Matters'!! If children learn at a young age to respect each other as individuals and also learn about each other differences, then they can carry that on into adulthood and share the same type of attitude with their peers. Hopefully this will help to reduce discrimination into a thing of the past. Inclusive practices ensures that we are looking at all of the children within our setting and
Shc33 Promote equality and inclusion in health, social care or children’s and young people’s setting Diversity is to recognise that all individuals are different and unique. Each person is influenced by its exposure of life. Other factors, such as ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, nationality, sexuality, and characteristics of personality, weight or height or ability, are part of the individual identity. Equality is to give everyone an opportunity according to their individual needs. To be treated fairly, so that they are capable of achieving their ability and potential.
Inclusion Inclusion is about giving equal access and opportunities and getting rid of discrimination and intolerance. Educational inclusion is about equal opportunities for all pupils, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity and background. Inclusion is a human right for every individual. The ambition of inclusion is to embrace all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other need, culture, age, religion and sexual orientation. It is everyone’s responsibility to remove the barriers to inclusion.
Certain curriculum goals of anti-bias curriculum are to foster each child's: *building of a well-informed, confident self-identity; *comfortable, empathic interaction with people from diverse backgrounds; *critical thinking about bias; * capability to stand up for themselves and for others in the face of unfairness. A belief in the importance of human diversity and the fair treatment of all people is a must for doing anti-bias work. When teachers become dedicated to learning how to implement anti-bias courses in their settings, they seem to go through four identifiable stages. ESTABLISHING THE ENVIRONMENT Stage one includes teachers raising their own consciousness of anti-bias matters related to themselves, their program, and the children in their care. A support group is vital for this method.
Equality allows us to be valued as an individual with a right to our own beliefs and values. Equality enables us to create a fairer society where everyone can participate and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The definition of equality of opportunity requires that each individual should have access to the resources normally necessary for the full development of his/her capacities as a human being. These would include decent nutrition, access to health care, and access to education of comparable
Life opportunities including: housing. Warmth and shelter are basic human needs. Moreover education and employment are also important factors related to being equal. It means that for everybody capable of learning and working is vital to perform it because it helps to realise our full potential as human beings. Inclusion: Inclusion is a term being relevant to accepting everyone, regardless of difference.
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. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are different things they need to be progressed together. Equality of opportunity will only exist when we recognise and value difference and work together for inclusion. It's vitally important from a learning and role modeling point of view that adults who come into contact with children and young people in any setting are seen to value difference.
A community could be racially and ethnically diverse or it could be populated with people who have much in common. The individuals that make up the community give it strength. Equity is essential to a successful and stable community. To me, equality refers to social, rather than economic. Every member in the society should have access to the same resources and receive the same amount of opportunities to achieve his full potential.
