One of them has dementia and can be difficult and inter fear with other clients, you leave him or her up stairs and bring the other client down. That is not equality because of her mental diversity you are not treating him or her equal to the other person.
Inclusion
Inclusion at its simplest is ‘the state of being included’ It is to promote that all people should be freely and openly accommodated without restrictions or limitations of any kind. Example: I make sure that every one in my care setting knows what activities are planed for the day so they can have the choice to participate if they want to.
Discrimination
Is the act of treating a person differently because of that person's race, class, sexual orientation or gender. Example: Not taking a client shopping because of her colour I would be discriminating against her because of her race.
