1. What is meant by diversity?
The word ‘Diversity’ is a way of describing something that is ‘different and varied’. An environment can be diverse because of the people that live or work there.

Diversity can also cover the choice of clothes, religious beliefs and ways of carrying these out, sexual preferences, hobbies and interests, political affiliations, mental and physical disabilities, attitudes, social and economic statuses along with the barriers that those present, language and ethnicity.
