On to T3! As I said for the previous essay you may well have had this bundled in with T2 and be doing them both the same week. It pulls out from that question on legislation and codes of practice to focus closer on these particular and important issues. Check out the full list of Ptlls assignments if you need a different one.
Level 3 – Explain how you could promote inclusion, equality and diversity with your current/future learners. Identify other points of referral available to meet the potential needs of learners. Recommended word count 200-300 words.
Level 4 – Discuss issues of equality and diversity and ways to promote inclusion with your learners. Review other points of referral available to meet the potential needs of learners. Recommended word count 300-400 words.
Juicy stuff to get in to here, not only about the heady trilogy of equality, diversity and inclusion but also pastoral issues. I love it, but there’s only 400 words maximum! (This post itself is over double that.)
I am going to break the question down along the lines of level 4 but there’s discussion below about the differences between 3 and 4.
Issues of equality and diversity
Even professionals in the field can find it hard to distinguish exactly between what is an equalities issue and what is a diversities issue. But that’s what makes it so interesting.
The Equality Act 2010 unifies previously piecemeal legislation and protects people from discrimination involving…
Race (including ethnic or national origins, colour and nationality)
Sex
Sexual orientation
Disability
Religion or belief (including lack of belief)
Gender reassignment (transsexuality)
Pregnancy and maternity
Marriage and civil partnership
Age
These are referred to as “protected characteristics” and the last two: age and marriage/civil partnership only really
