PRINCIPLES OF DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION IN ADULT SOCIAL CARE SETTINGS
Unit 303: PRINCIPLES OF DIVERSITY, EQUALITY AND INCLUSION IN ADULT SOCIAL CARE SETTINGS.
1.1
Diversity means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common they are also different and unique in other ways. Diversity is about recognising these differences and valuing them. Diversity is in the form of visible bind, non-visible differences which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and race disability, age, gender belief and religion. By understanding these differences and celebrating them we can create an environment where everyone feels valued.
Equality is a way of treating everybody in an appropriate way that suits their needs without showing them up and treating them worse than another. People are given equal opportunities which gives them access to the same rights, choices, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or cultural background.
Inclusion means that everybody regardless of their gender, race, age sexual orientation, religious belief or cultural background would be accepted and included. E.G a white group would welcome and allow a black or Asian person into their activities or allowing a person on a wheelchair to join a dance group with their children that have not got any disabilities.
1.2
The effects of discrimination on an individual could low the self-esteem, the individual can show signs of anger or violence towards others. It may lead to self-harm and very low moods. The individual can feel very isolated and different to others. The effect on the individuals family and friends can be just as bad as they can also feel angry and upset. They may become isolated from the community from trying to protect their member of family. Those who discriminate others often do this because they have been discriminated against themselves, are unhappy about their own lives or have seen people close to them discriminate against others. They may also believe that they are not doing anything
