What is Equality & Diversity?
Equality• Equality is legislation based and
focuses on the 9 Protected Characteristics.
• Equality ensures that individuals or groups belonging to any of the 9 groups are treated fairly and no less favourably, specific to their needs.
Diversity• Diversity focuses on
recognising, respecting and valuing people’s differences and understanding their full potential by promoting an inclusive culture for all.
• Bullying, harassment or victimization are also considered as equality and diversity issues.
