Inclusion – inclusion involves making the individual the centre of their life,involving them in everything that is about them,so that they are actively involved in all aspects of their life,care and support.
Discrimination - negative prejudices develop against people who are different in some way. Discriminatory behaviour results in unfair ,unjust treatment.It could be done against those who are different with respect to their age, sex, nationality, ethnic background, religion, ability, financial status and size.
