Unit 4222-303 Promote equality and inclusion in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings. Outcome 1. Understand the importance of diversity, equality and inclusion. 1.1 Explain what is meant by * Diversity – means difference and recognises that people have things in common with each other; they are also different and unique. Diversity is about recognising and valuing everyone’s culture, personality, age, race, sex, disability, gender, religion and beliefs.
Diversity consists of both visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as; background, culture, personality and work style and also the protected characteristics such as gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, religion and belief and age. By recognising and understand individual differences we are able to create an environment in which everybody feels valued. 1.1 b- Equality Equality means the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities. Equality is about making sure that people are treated fairly and given fair chances. Equality is not about treating everybody in exactly the same way.
Taking in to consideration of other people’s views, opinions and specific needs, for example planning actives so that all can be involved regardless of disability or age etc. Biv- Explain How Working In An Inclusive Way Which Recognises Difference, Can Reduce The Likelihood Of Discrimination.

Socially could lead to more emotional harm, physical harm and intellectual harm. Our setting is committed to anti-discriminatory practice to promote equality of opportunity and valuing diversity for all children and families. We aim to provide a secure and accessible environment in which all our children can flourish and in which all contributions are considered and valued. To include and value the contribution of all families to our understanding of equality and diversity.

Unit 33; promote equality and inclusion in health care or children and young people’s settings 1.1 Explain what is meant by diversity, equality and inclusion? Equality means every individual has a right to have chances that will support their present and future life, we cannot make every child the same, because they are all equal but different from one another, we can aim to offer each child equality of opportunity suited to each individual. Inclusion means each individual should have equal opportunities; everyone should be fully included in the setting, taking into account the diversity of the individual and families. Inclusion is the process of making this happen Diversity means differences between individuals and groups of people for example; age, culture, disability (mental, learning and physical), background, ethnicity and sexual orientation etc. Diversity means treating each individual the same and not different for reasons stated above, obviously if an individual has a disability then their maybe times they need more support etc.
However, we can aim to offer each unique child equality of opportunity suited to their individual needs and requirements. We as staff need to understand the needs and requirements of each individual child. For each child to have equal opportunities, settings they learn and play in must ensure that they and their families are fully included in the setting, taking into account the diversity of the children and families who come to the setting. Inclusion is the process of making this happens. Working towards inclusion involves striving to remove barriers to children and their families.
When it is used as a contrast or addition to equality, it is about recognising individual as well as group differences, treating people as individuals, and placing positive value on diversity in the community and in the workforce. -Equality. Equality is ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favorably, specific to their needs, including areas of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age. Equality is about creating a fairer society, where everone can participate and has the oppurtunity to fulfill their potential' (DoH 2004). -Inclusion.
'Questioning enables teachers to check learners' understanding. It also benefits learners as it encourages enitgagement and focuses their thinking on key concepts and ideas.' (Kyriacou 1995 in Desforges 1995, pg. 126) I am of the opinion that the idea children should work in mixed ability groups is not always a viable option. I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating.
Everyone has a full and active participation and have a sense of belonging. Inclusive practice involves taking action to remove barriers to participation and learning. Inclusion also involves eliminating discrimination and promoting equality. Recognizing and respecting the diversity of backgrounds, beliefs and experiences, is promoting equality. - the effects of discrimination on individuals Treating people unequally can result in their losing their dignity, respect, self-esteem and self-worth and ability to make choices; individuals or groups being oppressed or disadvantaged.
